Shetland performer comes to the Fringe with new show

Shetland Choreographer and Performer Kathryn Gordon has Assembly@DanceBase all a birl this Edinburgh Festival Fringe as she introduces her sublime new work A JOURNEY OF FLIGHT. This is an immersive fifty-minute dance performance created in Shetland and inspired by the migration of birds. The work includes Gordon's signature element of engaging environmental awareness, inviting audiences to reflect on the delicate balance between nature, movement and our emotional ties to place. Featuring mesmerising choreography and live music from Jenny Sturgeon alongside projected visuals, A JOURNEY OF FLIGHT creates a thought-provoking journey of arrivals, departures, the nostalgia of place and the notion of flight itself. Set against a backdrop of flowing white sheets, dancers Kathryn Gordon and Jorja Follina move through ever changing spaces, exploring new states of being and new homes. This visual piece is set to be one of the most striking and thought provoking physical theatre performances of the Fringe. Kathryn Gordon said:'We can't wait to bring the show to the Fringe, within our nationwide tour. It's such an honour to be part of the Made in Scotland showcase, alongside such great artists and performances. We are hoping to build connections at the Fringe to allow us to keep this work on its journey, exploring connections that can be made as it travels, by flight and by sea.' This show is supported by The Made in Scotland Showcase, Creative Scotland and Shetland Arts. Like this: Like Related
