Vocal Revolution Ep 12 - The Voice In Song Theatre with Helen Chadwick, Composer, Singer, Song-Theatre Creator"Trust yourself" - Helen shares insights and stories from her wealth of experience creating innovative song-theatre and projects including mass choral fundraiser Sing for Water. About Helen: At the heart of my work is song. I have collaborated with Sally Pomme Clayton on The Singing Bones, a story-song version of the Kalevala. With Hugh Lupton I have collaborated on several duo and group performances. My own songs and performances are full of stories. With teams of collaborators I create concerts, recordings, song-theatre performances, song-story performances, community opera and site-specific choral events. Composing credits include for English Touring Opera, the BBC, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, the Royal Court and the British Museum. Song-theatre includes Dalston Songs (Royal Opera House), War Correspondents (Birmingham Rep) and Truth (South Bank Centre). Site-specific choral commissions include The Singing Circle (Royal Opera House), Where Two Worlds Touch (Salisbury Festival) and A Body Of Song (Greenwich Festival). Recordings include ten albums, with one track featured on Desert Island Discs. Singing credits include for Meredith Monk, Human Music, VoiceLab, Kite, and on the film TROY. As well as writing lyrics I set many world poets’s work as songs, for other projects my lyrics are drawn from people’s stories and interviews. Awards: President's Award from WaterAid for Sing For Water; an Honorary Fellowship from Dartington College of Arts. https://helenchadwick.com/
