Dear Deborah,
My name is Jose Gandia, I am studying an MA at RADA in London, and co/direct the Opera company Opera at Home, http://www.operaathome.co.uk.
I came across your profile, because I am looking for a female, black singer who can improvise for my dissertation “Five Postcards from Medea”, a piece of collaborative music/theatre/dance,based on the Greek classic Medea, to be performed at RADA, London, 13th July. (Possibly Riverside Studios next year) If this sounds of any interest to you, please answer to this and we can talk.
All the very best,
Jose Gandia
Director
