will hum about mine ears

I have been working on a commission for the Royal Shakespeare Company.  As part of the events to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death the RSC have asked artists to make work in response to cast and creative’s favourite quotes.  I have been working with composer Isobel Waller-Bridge’s choice of Caliban’s speech from ‘The Tempest’.  I focussed on two elements of the speech; firstly the part where Caliban likens noises on the island to ‘a thousand twangling instruments’ and secondly the part where Caliban speaks of dreaming and clouds.
The work will be on show 19 March - 18 September 2016, PACCAR Room, Level 2, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon
