TRAJECTORIES 2025 – AN INSIDE LOOK

Published on 26 May 2025

Get an exciting glimpse behind the Trajectories programme, hearing about the process of developing new work from the artists and how audiences experienced the performances throughout the day. 

“There are so many valuable parts to this programme, I don’t know anything else that’s quite like it in Scotland right now.” 

Can you believe it? Another iteration of Trajectories comes to a close, and what a time it was! So, let’s celebrate it by getting an exciting glimpse behind the Trajectories programme with the artists: Hannah McGregor, Harry Walker, Margot Conde-Arenas, Molly McGrath, Robbie Hail and Taya Sian, alongside Lead Artist Cora Bissett. 

Watch the project film to hear about the process of developing new work from the artists’ perspective and how audiences experienced the performances throughout the day. 

The Trajectories showcase event took place on Friday 25 April at Assembly Roxy, Edinburgh. Audiences were invited to choose their own journey around the venue and experience the 5 performances created by the Trajectories artists. 

The cohort dissected identity and society’s role in shaping it through emotive love letters to childhood homes, journeys through family stories and the sea, the rediscovery of lost memories… or dealing with more recent ones.
