Helium tells the story of young adult, Bella, on a quest to grasp the meaning of a series of packages she receives in the post every week from her grandfather containing nothing but a white helium balloon.

The action unfolds in several enclosed boxes, from the inside of a Lancaster Bomber, to a magic show in 1920s London, to the heights of a cathedral. The audience, which enters each space one at a time, is guided in turn by a gargoyle, an illusionist and a bombardier.

The story of Helium is revealed through the use of digital audio, video and live performance.

Heather's credits include both BBC and ITV primetime documentaries and a BAFTA-nominated short film.

She scored the feature films The John Akii-Bua Story (2008), The Fifth Mind (2007) and Crossing the Line (2006) alongside Craig Armstrong (Moulin Rouge!, Romeo +Juliet) and Sister Bliss from Faithless.

She was awarded Best Sound for Sound Design in Black|Blue at the Can Short Film Festival in 2006.

Her music and sound design for theatre ranges from conventional stage plays to cutting-edge installations and site-specific art.
