THE MIDNIGHT BALLET

The Midnight Ballet is a troupe of shadow dancers designed for the garden. By day, their angular, fragmented forms possess a striking industrial presence. But as darkness falls, The Midnight Ballet reveals its true nature: a private performance, illuminated against the stillness of the night.

A theatrical interplay of light awakens each piece into a duet of graceful dancers. The installation becomes a living artwork, a moment of theatre that feels both intimate and awe-inspiring.

 

Whether placed within an expansive estate or a smaller courtyard garden, each piece brings warmth, atmosphere, and choreography to the outdoors, transforming the landscape into a stage for an endless performance.

Works from The Midnight Ballet continue to be exhibited in temporary public installations across the UK as well as being held in private collections.
