Celebrating Age
Celebrating Age Wiltshire commissioned me to write a new performance for their audience to celebrate International Older People's Day in October. This performance draws together the stories of women I’ve researched through different projects around the themes of healthcare, equality and resilience. -
Sooner or Later
I was commissioned by UK Parliament's Vote100 project to compose an original song in response to their archive materials around the campaign for women's suffrage in the UK. The result was the song Sooner or Later first performed at the House of Commons. -
Aletta Jacobs
Groninger Museum invited me to compose an original song about the Dutch physician, campaigner and suffragist Aletta Jacobs. Tied to the Suffrage Tree was recorded and shared in the museum where Isaac Israels’ portrait of Aletta Jacobs is on display.
