Waypeople is a sonic and visual journey through ancient philosophical texts that are at once solidly pragmatic and profoundly mystical. With lyrics drawn from author Ursula Le Guin's poetic English language version of the Tao te Ching, eight artists explore traditional and contemporary music forms, composition, improvisation, shadow, light & ink as they guide you through ten movements, illustrating the themes of the unseen, unheard, unnamable Tao, “wu-wei” (not-doing) and true Power.

Music by Jake Baxendale
Visual art by Nikita 雅涵 Tu-Bryant.
Theatrical direction and design by Joel Baxendale.

Featuring Jake Baxendale (woodwinds); Chelsea Prastiti (vocals); Jessie Ling (guzheng); Daniel Hayles (piano); Callum Passells (saxophones); Cory Champion (drums and percussion); Johnny Lawrence (double bass).
