More on Silent Spaces

During lockdown 2020/2021,  we worked on this wild, exhausting and truly magical project, travelling across the Uk, opening doors to locked concert halls, museums and nightclubs to create a new, original 6 episode video series.

In SILENT SPACES more than 30 performers celebrate iconic cultural spaces  that have been out of action during the COVID-19 pandemic, while addressing pressing issues such as climate change, mental health, our relationships to our bodies and the plight of the arts during this challenging time.
