A Journey of Flight is a critically acclaimed, immersive 50-minute dance performance, created in Shetland, inspired by the migration of birds. Through mesmerising choreography, live music from Jenny Sturgeon, and stunning projected visuals, the show creates a thought-provoking journey of arrivals, departures, the nostalgia of place and the notion of flight itself.
Against a backdrop of flowing white sheets, the dancers move through ever-changing spaces, exploring new states of being and new homes. This visually stunning piece invites audiences to reflect on the delicate balance between nature, movement and our emotional ties to place and each other. A Journey of Flight offers a visually captivating and thought-provoking experience that invites you to reflect, engage and be inspired.
The show was developed in Shetland and has toured Scotland in 2025, with dates in Dumfries and Galloway, Glasgow, Inverness, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh (as part of the Made in Scotland showcase at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe) and then its final performance here at Mareel.
"Journey of Flight invites reflection on the delicate balance between nature, movement, and our ties to each other, leaving the audience buoyed, as though lifted on the wing. This is a wonderful immersive dance experience that I highly recommend you experience for yourself" - Review
