Available Light beautifully unites the distinct visions of its three creators. Gehry's designs playfully subvert convention, setting a backdrop of chain-link fencing against a stage split over two levels. Adams' hypnotic soundtrack pulses out in waves, subtly blending acoustic brass with synthesisers and electronics as it anchors the movements of a dozen dancers. And Childs' intricate, mesmerising choreography, playing with notions of space and time, is a brilliant distillation of the minimalist aesthetic that has long kept her work at the cutting edge.
