Last weekend I spent four lovely days visiting Bradford for the first time, to perform stilt walking as a Lightwalker at in Bradford's City Park, with physical performer Clare Barrett.
Bradford Shine was an evening event centred around an animated light installation called Key Frames. You can see a video of the animated installation in the Telegraph and Argus news article.
Key Frames was created by a Belgian company called Groupe Laps, to explore bodies moving in urban spaces.
