Painting “streams” by Britta Thie
Get an exclusive look at the inspirations and processes behind our multimedia commissions in partnership with the City of London. Marking 400 years since the Mayflower sailed to America, each of our four Associate Composers have been working alongside collaborators to create audio-visual works exploring the themes of journeys, migration and cultural identity.
Take a look at some of the initial ideas from Nonclassical Associate Composer Lola de la Mata and her chosen collaborator, director, artist, actor and model Britta Thie – their work is centred around the concept of migration and travelling through technology. This virtual scrapbook includes quotes, audio experiments, and images which will feed into the final piece, to be premiered alongside the other commissions via our YouTube channel on Wed 16 Sep.
