Running Man

After receiving funding from Australia Council, Jessica is embarking on the creation and composition of a new musical work exploring various facets of serious forms of mental illness such as bipolar, schizophrenia and psychosis. Collaborating with electronics expert Ben Carey, the two composers will explore through music concepts of manipulated reality and tampered perspectives. With an original libretto written by Pierce Wilcox, this work promises to shine a light on these experiences that still hold a lot of shame and taboo in society and can have debilitating effects on those suffering and those close to them.
