Please Can I (a live improvisation)

As a species, we have always made sound, we have always sung and we have always improvised. This commission brought together people and vocal artists, to express all that they feel during these testing and triggering times, especially for music and the arts. There was no plan or rehearsal, just an open space and the intention to come together as they are, questioning what this year means to them and where it fits in the overall scheme of things.
