ESKA: ENGLISH SKIES


dir. Simon Deacon, Struan Leslie, with ESKA // Choreographer: Struan Leslie // Associate Director-Choreographer: Sagovsky

English Skies is a journey through the life & mind of a woman remembering things past;
lovers & loves, dreaming & longing. This unique performance presents English Skies as a staged song cycle, for which ESKA will be joined on stage by the 80-voice Goldsmiths Vocal Ensemble, a band of celebrated instrumentalists, & sound & video design to realise a staging of this autobiographical body of work, with video by Hannah Mason & choreography by Struan Leslie.

Following on from large-scale choral success at Royal Festival Hall, The British Council's 75th Anniversary show at The Barbican & Glastonbury 2010, this singular artist weaves thrilling textures in massed vocal sound to express her own musical & personal journey.
