Using live music, a language of specially developed 'sound  poetry' and Giant's interactive sensory performance techniques, The Songbird is a subtle story with a powerful emotional punch.

Best Production for Children and Young People
Best use of Music and Sound (David Paul Jones)

The Songbird follows the tale of an extraordinary exotic bird that is captured in the tranquil solitude of the forest by a ruthless logger who is captivated by her song. The logger takes the bird on a dangerous voyage across the ocean to the cut and thrust of the metropolis. The bird is put on the stage to sing, gloriously at first, and then searching and faltering, while the bird catcher revels in the limelight. Will the bird survive or will its song become a poignant memory of a lost world?

Ravishing and poignant, the piece is a gem of alluring composition.

...the children in the audience are held rapt from beginning to end.
