Ornithology

Scottish tour

2012

A collaboration with Lucy Deacon and Moritz Linkmann of Strangebirdzirkus, a full-length aerial theatre piece using Chinese pole and hoop.

The project aimed to integrate aerial choreography into a narrative, observed and commented on by a female David Attenborough-style ornithologist who is eventually drawn into the action.

The audience share her commentary but also have the option to listen to a musical score created and arranged by Dave Boyd.

Ornithology, with text by Laura Bridgeman, toured extensively in Scotland to a wide range of venues.
