Laura Moy makes her debut solo performance in a deeply personal story exploring grief, loss, and finding safety in the unexpected. Through poetic movement and fluidity on the pole, Laura navigates the surreal contrasts of her life as an aerialist: a world of precision and control against the chaos of loss. Set to a haunting original score, this evocative piece captures the raw, suspended reality of trauma and healing.
Laura shared a 20 minute work-in-progress at The Place’s Resolution Festival.
Drawing on her own surreal experience of touring as an aerialist in contemporary circus; a space of precision, control, beauty & suspended reality whilst facing the daily disorientation of debilitating traumatic grief.
The unexpected loss of a loved one can often leave the bereaved feeling silenced & isolated. In grief we can be altered and the landscape we inhabit unrecognisable, attempting to navigate it can sometimes feel impossible and there are no words.
Footprint in The Snow is a deeply personal story that attempts to acknowledge what grief is and recognise the toll it can take.
When hanging by an elbow 6 metres in the air, for Laura, that was the only space that felt safe.
Footprint in The Snow is produced by Split Second
