Remembering Claire Janisch

Date: 2022-02-13

This film exists to share a space,
acknowledge our hurting hearts
and pay witness to the circles of life

For a time, Claire was bigger than life. 
She danced with life,
She joked with life
You wouldn’t believe it, 
She even taught life. 

She inspired a movement
And is still the only friend I will ever have who invented her own career
The audaciousness
The bravery
And all whilst laughing and talking in puns

A great tree has fallen,
Rocks on distant mountains shudder
Lions hunker down in tall grass
And even today elephants
Lumber after safety

When great trees fall,
On a rare occasion, 
they chart a new path across rivers unabridged

Claire, you walked your own path
Never alone, but always defining
With a disregard for norms, 
you ever once accepted to the idea that it’s ‘just how it has always been’

Your adventurous spirit will be forever remembered 
Your inspiration still stands
And your teachings live on

We love you so very very much Claire x

Claire Janisch - 1975 to 2022
