The Shape of Belonging by Whispering Woods

Let your heart soar amongst the mighty cathedral of the forest, with an evening of breathtaking aerial dance and euphoric choral performance from Whispering Woods and the Murmuration Choir.

Wrap up with a warm drink and watch aerialists and acrobats move amongst the branches against the soundtrack of Bristol’s 25 voiced, contemporary choir performing 8-part vocal harmony, soundscape, effects and percussion.

A breathtaking, immersive piece for all ages, staged in an arboretum reclaimed from abandonment, The Architecture of Belonging holds a space to disconnect from the digital and to listen deeply to the earth, to each other and to ourselves.
