The Fractured project is a remarkable opportunity that promises to be a transformative step in my career. It provides a platform to connect with new audiences, particularly the D/deaf and hard of hearing community, enabling me to broaden my impact and engage with marginalised communities. This project's emphasis on inclusivity and social impact adds immense value to my artistic journey.

Working alongside Arts Trust exposes me to a well-established network of industry professionals and artists, opening doors to exciting opportunities and collaborations. Collaborating with world-class musicians is an exhilarating prospect that will elevate the quality of the music and expose me to unique soundscapes and artistic perspectives. This collaboration will serve as a catalyst for artistic growth, and push the boundaries of my creativity.

Future touring of the project is filled with promise and excitement. Its accessible and inclusive nature has the potential to captivate audiences on a global scale. The tour will enable us to reach diverse communities, nationally and internationally, bringing the transformative power of music to a wider stage. Beyond personal and professional growth, our aim is to inspire and engage audiences from all walks of life, fostering unity and appreciation for the universal language of music.


The core principles of inclusivity, innovation, and collaboration will be brought to life . The production seeks to push boundaries and challenge preconceived notions, offering a platform for individuals from both communities to come together and create something extraordinary. In addition to performances, the production will also feature an immersive experience, combining stunning visuals, innovative use of sound, and engaging storytelling techniques. This multi-sensory approach will ensure that the audience, regardless of their hearing abilities, can fully immerse themselves in the enchanting world of music and become part of this transformative experience.
