Body/Opera

(2011–2015)

 

Body/Opera was a training, rehearsal and devising technique, which combined physical theatre, ensemble improvisation and contemporary vocal performance. 

By deconstructing the musical, physical and textual material of opera, the Body/Opera method allowed music theatre to be composed collaboratively, within the framework of ensemble improvisation. The technique was integral to the devising process of our 2014 production Triptych.

The development of the Body/Opera method was documented on a dedicated blog.
