To engage, excite, inspire, stimulate and provoke the audience through the creation and touring of original high-quality mixed-media dance theatre performance; to enable public participation within a comprehensive, dynamic and sensitive Education and Participation Programme.
Earthfall was formed in 1989 by Jessica Cohen and Jim Ennis with a policy of forging radical choreography with live music and strong visual imagery.
The company was based in Cardiff and rapidly established itself as an outstanding exponent of pioneering dance theatre. Earthfall’s issue-based work was concerned with seeking a personal honesty, passion and economy in physical performance to produce quality work of depth. Earthfall performed throughout the world in many major festivals and featured on numerous TV and radio broadcasts.
The company received several awards for its live performance and film work, including the BAFTA Cymru Award winner for Best Short Film for ‘Too Old To Dream‘. Earthfall was nominated for a BAFTA Cymru Award for Best Short Film in 2010 for ‘GRAVITAS – POSTCARDS’ and won the Theatre Critics of Wales Award for Best Dance 2013 for Chelsea Hotel.
Earthfall were members of the Independent Theatre Council, Dance UK and Wales Association of the Performing Arts. Earthfall were also an affiliate of Bath Spa University.
