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 stunning 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.
