WORLD PREMIERE: CREATIVE MINDS IN SONG

  • Milton Court, Barbican Centre Silk Street London, England, EC2Y 8DS United Kingdom (map)

Rebecca co-directs Creative Minds in Song with pianist Gavin Roberts. Creative Minds in Song, a ground-breaking social project pioneered by Song in the City, explores the deep link between mental illness and creativity. Bringing together writers from MIND in Tower Hamlets and Newham with postgraduate students from the Guildhall School, the project inspires the co-creation of brand new songs over a series of workshops, written by those with lived experience of mental illness in collaboration with Guildhall School composers, pianists and singers. Through poetry and music, the project gives the experience of those who have suffered from mental illness a creative life. The world premiere performance at Milton Court, Barbican, featured the new songs and told the story of the project and its participants through words and music. A collaboration between Song in the City, MIND in Tower Hamlets and Newham and the Guildhall School.
