I developed both visual narrative and a series of lighting states for the first version of Adam’s Apple, which was then selected for the Arts Council 2004 This Way Up tour. SharpWire went on to work with artists Tobin Rothlein and Amanda Miller to further incorporate video and dance elements in the subsequent version.
A multi-media song-cycle, which has been captivating audiences across the United Kingdom … spellbinding.
