Isolation, In Your Words
'What does lockdown feel like?' 45 Britons share their stories during the global crisis of 2020. Their responses are woven together with music as diverse as the people themselves.
"How has this time of isolation been for you?鈥 Four-year-old Sara and new grandmother Felicity miss cuddles. Frankie is used to being alone but is experiencing a new kind of loneliness. Ramadan is very different this year for Sayra鈥檚 family. And Janet, living with cancer, feels even more restricted and uncertain amidst this new 鈥榥ormal鈥.
Weaving together the words and stories of the British public with a blend of rap, jazz, a cappella and verbatim theatre, this half-hour musical documentary blurs the line between songwriting and social research in capturing a snapshot of this unique moment in history.
鈥業solation, In Your Words鈥 was written and recorded by Mandeep Singh, Leanne Sedin and Kevin Fox, and produced by Arun Dhanjal (Zar). It was commissioned as part of the 91热爆 Culture in Quarantine programme; funded and supported by The Space Arts, 91热爆 Arts and Arts Council England.
