Covid Song Cycle Watch Party

Covid Song Cycle Watch Party is a poetic musical celebration of process, connection, growth and creativity following the Covid-19 pandemic.

…falling off the deep end trying to find a glimpse of soul

Now to sing with you feels like home…*

Join us for a Watch Party that premieres a short documentary film, charting the pilot phase of a new choral co-creation project Covid Song Cycle; which is a collaboration between Manchester-based artists – composer Michael Betteridge and poets SAF, Ella Otomewo, mandla and Princess Arinola – in co-creation workshops with four distinct community groups- Sheffield Community Choir; N-Choir; Wild Voices and York Chapter House Youth Choir.  

Featuring original music and poetry, written collaboratively by over 100 participants, the documentary is a meditation on the transformational power of music and words to connect, unite and empathise, highlighting both the experience and value of the collective, as well as individual, experiences in creative communities.  

The screening is complemented by live performances from poets Ella Otomewo, SAF, mandla and Princess Arinola; performances of new music by composer/musicians Jack D’Arcy and Danyal Hassan; and featuring songs performed by N-Choir.
