Speaking Towards One Another project is created and performed by Stephanie Lamprea (soprano), Yuki Neoh (performer), Megan McArthur (performer), Tim Cooper (live electronics), Jen McGregor (dramaturg), and Oana Stanciu (video art).
This unique opening performance will use live electronics to transform and digitise the singing and speaking voice, and wearable digital technologies to transform British Sign Language into live sounds and visuals. The concert will be accessible to hearing and D/deaf audience members via visual interpretations of the music, a live BSL translator, and printed programmes with all texts spoken, sung, and signed in the performance.

About the Project
This project will feature two newly commissioned musical works by composers Laura Bowler and Amble Skuse, and recent works by composers Rebecca Saunders, Stuart Macrae, and Tom W. Green, setting texts by writers and artists Alwynne Pritchard, Carol Ann Duffy, Gertrude Stein, Adah Isaacs Menken, and Hannah Siddiqui. These works create a theatrical narrative addressing topics of women’s testimony, language and the body, gender representation, and resilience within disability.
