Orpheus in the Record Shop

Very excited to share that I was Movement Director on Testament’s Orpheus in the Record Shop a Leeds Playhouse and Opera North production that was filmed for the BBC and can now be watched on iPlayer

Orpheus is alone, playing tunes in his record shop, when a visit from an enigmatic stranger sets his fragile reality into a spin.  Driven by an astonishing original soundtrack of hip hop, soul and funk, he ventures back into the past to confront some painful truths. Rooted in myths ancient and modern, from the journey of a classical hero to the magical, crackling aura of a vinyl record, this is a compelling examination of isolation and the redemptive power of music.
