Audiences will have the chance to experience a circus spectacular at this year’s Godiva Festival as part of Coventry’s bid to be the next UK City of Culture in 2021. On Sunday 9 July, Bristol-based company Cirque Bijou will be performing an exciting outdoor show, specially commissioned for the festival by the City of Culture Trust.
Combining daring stunts with live music, Cirque Bijou’s “New Day” will culminate in a daredevil highline walk, accompanied by a Coventry community choir singing ELO’s “Mr Blue Sky”. The show lasts 25 minutes, and will run twice during the day.
My Role
This was my first project with Tilly Lee-Kronick and Cirque Bijou and it was great for applying the arrangements and triggering capabilities of the SPD-SX in a life format as well as working with a wonderful community choir on the track, ‘Mr Blue Sky’.
