War Correspondents

Based on the personal experiences of journalists, critically acclaimed composer Helen Chadwick and Olivier Award winning choreographer and co-founder of Frantic Assembly Steven Hoggett present the world premiere of a new song-cycle performance, coinciding with the centenary of WWI.

The performance, which is the second collaboration between the two artists, weaves together sound extracts of interviews and wartime poetry with original choreography and musical composition to depict the extraordinary stories and life changing experiences of war journalists from across the world who risk their lives in extreme circumstances.

Whilst reporting an outbreak of war, a journalist is held at gunpoint, caught in the no-man's land between two nations. War Correspondents has been co-commissioned by Greenwich & Docklands International Festival, Sage Gateshead, New Writing North for Durham Book Festival, and is the second song theatre performance created by composer Helen Chadwick and choreographer Steven Hoggett following the success of Dalston Songs, commissioned by the Royal Opera House.

War Correspondents has been in development for six years. During this time, Helen Chadwick and designer Miriam Nabarro interviewed War Correspondents with experience of conflicts in Iraq, Chechnya, Georgia, Afghanistan, Liberia and Bosnia.
