runway by Alan Fielden is a performance for choral voices and one musician, exploring human communication during catastrophe. Structured yet improvised, runway makes use of overlapping choral narratives and live music to consider alternative treatments of text, voice, and storytelling. With words and phrases diverging, converging, repeating, and iterating in a procession of characters and images, runway uses polyphony to evoke networks of tenderness, overwhelm, and hysteria.

runway was commissioned by TACO! through Blurt - an experimental platform supporting artists to develop text-based works for live reading and performance, and synchronous live-to-air broadcast

runway was performed by Alan Fielden, Jemima Yong, Ben Kulvichit, Clara Potter-Sweet, and Nat Norland,
