The project was filmed and will be edited into a Camden’s Oracy Hub film which will be shared with other schools and our parents later in the year.

  • Operaharmony
    #OPERAHARMONY CREATING OPERAS IN ISOLATION 1 3 WELCOME TO #OPERA HARMONY FROM FOUNDER – ELLA MARCHMENT Welcome to #OperaHarmony. #Opera Harmony is a collection of opera makers from across the world who, during this time of crisis, formed an online community to create new operas. I started this initiative when the show that I was rehearsing at Dutch National Opera was cancelled because of the lockdown. Using social media and online platforms I invited colleagues worldwide to join me in the immense technical and logistical challenge of creating new works online. I set the themes of ‘distance’ and ‘community’, organised artist teams, and since March have been overseeing the creation of twenty new operas. All the artists involved in #OperaHarmony are highly skilled professionals who typically apply their talents in creating live theatre performances. Through this project, they have had to adapt to working in a new medium, as well as embracing new technologies and novel ways of creating, producing, and sharing work. #OperaHarmony’s goal was to bring people together in ways that were unimaginable prior to Covid-19. Over 100 artists from all the opera disciplines have collaborated to write, stage, record, and produce the new operas. The pieces encapsulate an incredibly dark period for the arts, and they are a symbol of the unstoppable determination, and community that exists to perform and continue to create operatic works. This has been my saving grace throughout lockdown, and it has given all involved a sense of purpose. When we started building these works we had no idea how they would eventually be realised, and it is with great thanks that we acknowledge the support of Opera Vision in helping to both distribute and disseminate these pieces, and also for establishing a means in which audiences can be invited into the heart of the process too .

  • Hampstead Theatre Announces Full Casting for the World Premiere of the Strange Death of John Doe
    Press Release 23 April 2018 Hampstead Theatre announces full casting for the world premiere of The Strange Death of John Doe THE STRANGE DEATH OF JOHN DOE Directed by Edward Hall Written by Fiona Doyle Designed by Michael Pavelka Lighting by Matthew Haskins Sound by Chris Murray 25 May – 30 June 2018 Press Night Tuesday 5 June 7.45pm ‘I mean, where does a person begin and end, and when did they stop being a person?’ Hampstead Theatre presents the world premiere of Fiona Doyle’s The Strange Death of John Doe, inspired by real events.

It will be directed by Artistic Director Edward Hall and the cast includes Damola Adelaja, Charlotte Bradley, Benjamin Cawley, Callie Cooke, Maynard Eziashi, Nick Hendrix, Rhashan Stone and Abigail Thaw. London – the present day. The unidentified body of a young man with fatal head injuries is found face down in a suburban street. Who is he and where did he come from? He has no ID and nobody witnessed anything. It’s as if he has just fallen from the sky… Clinically named as ‘John Doe’, the pathologists must uncover the truth and piece his story – and body – back together. A breakthrough sends DC John Kavura into overdrive for answers and as his investigation unravels, he discovers a haunting story of our time. Damola Adelaja plays Felipe/Airport Security/Aviation Official. Theatre work includes Parliament Square (Bush/Royal Exchange); The Immigrant (Rich Mix/British Library); Under Dark Skies (Talawa); Our Country's Good (St James’, Out Of Joint); A Drop to Drink (Soho); Fixer (Oval House); A Raisin in the Sun (Manchester Royal Exchange); Junun Dementia (GBS Theatre); Ruined (Almeida); Slave (Lowry Theatre); The Crossing (Hall For Cornwall/Theatre503); Dreams Come Out to Play (Knavish Speech/Birmingham Rep/UK tour) and Romeo and Juliet (Tower Theatre Islington/UK tour).
