BETWEEN AND
Devised by Ben Johnson, Jude Taylor, Demi Essex, Rebekah Heathcote and the cast
and interpretations. Rather than being directed into fixed outcomes, they have been encouraged to question, experiment, and build each moment from the ground up.
This showcase brings together songs from across both composers’ work, celebrating the contrast in style, theme, and storytelling that defines their writing. Each piece has been developed through collaboration, allowing the performers to connect more deeply with the material and with one another.
What you will see tonight is not just a performance, but the result of a process rooted in curiosity, risk, and creative independence. It has been a privilege to watch this group grow in confidence, step into ownership, and truly make the work their own.
