Isolation, In Your Words

Available for over a year

"How has this time of isolation been for you?” Four-year-old Sara and new grandmother Felicity miss cuddles. Frankie is used to being alone but is experiencing a new kind of loneliness. Ramadan is very different this year for Sayra’s family. And Janet, living with cancer, feels even more restricted and uncertain amidst this new ‘normal’. Weaving together the words and stories of the British public with a blend of rap, jazz, a cappella and verbatim theatre, this half-hour musical documentary blurs the line between songwriting and social research in capturing a snapshot of this unique moment in history. ‘Isolation, In Your Words’ was written and recorded by Mandeep Singh, Leanne Sedin and Kevin Fox, and produced by Arun Dhanjal (Zar). It was commissioned as part of the BBC Culture in Quarantine programme; funded and supported by The Space Arts, BBC Arts and Arts Council England.
