SUMP Collective - Felt
Inspire Youth Arts, BeiNG Music (East Midlands)
To enhance the collaborative process, SUMP Collective used Soundtrap online music production software enabling input from everyone to record, programme and edit. This meant that work could be completed whenever and wherever they could find time and space to work. The collective produced short sections of music that were arranged, edited, developed, or discarded as the dance piece progressed with dancers and musicians feeding off each other's creativity to make a cohesive synthesis of sound and movement exploring themes such as lockdown and the range of emotions people felt during that time.
