Emma playing solo violin for C-12 production, WATSON

Funded by Arts Council England, in April 2015, C-12 Dance Theatre presented a concept that incorporated movement, live music, video and interactive software, WATSON, which had the audience set within the story inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Empty House. WATSON is a mid-large scale production that uses movement to drive the narrative, supported by video and music.  The movement is choreographed by Annie-Lunnette Deakin-Foster, the video is produced by The Light Surgeons, the music is written by Jamie Salisbury, and the production is directed by Adam Towndrow. Emma was invited to provide the live music for the R and D showing in April.
