Looped film of two trapeze artists on a curved metal rig in a beautiful town square in Norwich. A sunny day, a large crowd gathers to watch, one performer wraps her body around one arm and appears to dangle in the breeze. The other leans out and sings to her. They are dressed in red and gold, circus leotards.

Comments about Waiting Song

...what struck me the most was the subtle bond that developed between the performers and the audience, based on the simple but profound link that formed from the briefest of conversations.

...a delightful and poetic piece about positive expectations and hope. ... a little gem guaranteed to lift the spirits of whoever is watching.

A fellow director of physical performance
...a rare feat - exploring what a hopeful response might look like to the depth and breadth of challenge that we face at this moment in human history - personal, societal, environmental, global - with elegant simplicity, humour and charm.
