Shaw Light is an inclusive dance project delivered in partnership between Curious Motion and Friends of Shaw Park, Holywell Green.
Shaw Light offers inclusive dance and creative activities responding to Shaw Park’s natural landscape – exploring themes of light, water and connection.
The project is the first collaboration between Curious Motion and Friends of Shaw Park. It brings together people who may not ordinarily meet through shared creative experiences in the beautiful surroundings of Shaw Park in Holywell Green.
Shaw Park offers tranquil beauty across 5 acres of picturesque grounds set on a hillside looking out to the Calderdale countryside.
The park has some fascinating Grade II listed buildings, an ornamental lake, a wildlife pond, a well and a playground.
The park is located in the village of Holywell Green, which was recorded in the Domesday Book as a small hamlet within the township of Stainland. The village gets its name from St Helen’s Well, which was known within the area during the Middle Ages.
Shaw Light runs from May 2026 to March 2027. Check out what’s on offer below.
Accessible creative dance workshops and complementary activities, including photography and writing.
More information coming soon!
Site-responsive dance performance work from our performance group, created from the project’s workshops and wider activities.
Opportunities to connect with the wider Shaw Park community through their coffee mornings and wonderful wellbeing terrace.
Thank you to CultureDale for supporting this project
