Waiting Song

A lyrical conversation between two trapeze artists as they animate two metal crescents for Waiting Song.

As they sing and move on the trapezes, dressed in sumptuous circus costume, they share what they are waiting for, with anticipation and optimism. Waiting for the good things that they know will happen.

Waiting Song invites the public to consider what they are looking forward to. To share thoughts and images for inclusion in the performers’ song.
