We believe...

we need fine tales
They're wasting these marvellous minds of ours.
These wild imaginations.
Too often, our heads are stifled:
hooked and drowned on short-form,
flitting inconsequence.
And as this glutting, brainless slop erodes
our hope of living one life well.
We could be living hundreds.
In our precious, few, unordered hours
We need to live in stories far more vivid
than this dizzy haze of
numb contempt
and thoughtless, aimless,
hollow living.
Enter art:
real, human art,
wielded imagination,
distilled experience,
rich and slow-cooked thought.
Explore the lives you cannot live
and enrich the one you do
with reflections that reflect at last
and lights that catch the truth.
If you're living half-asleep,
It's time to dream so well it wakes you.
United by that mission we made Windstep.
This band of artists, actors & musicians unite to tell stories.
Concerned with quality not quantity:
some say we do it rather well.
We start with writing -
lovingly, daringly performed and worked
into experiences that leap beyond the page
to be remembered
savoured, treasured,
for years to come.
We want time well spent.
That nourishes. That gives.
And why the name? Why "Windstep"?
It's a leap of faith, this lark.
The great unknown.
Every story is a world
and every landing is uncertain.
But we're loving what we do
and we're damned if we don't
look up, reach out,
and take that step.
