Dr Faustus: An Exploration of Voice, Sound and Body

Synopsis: This production of ‘Dr Faustus’ draws inspiration from Butoh dance and incorporates sound, text and vocal exploration in order to explore abstract imagery through voice and body. Disc 2 consists of a filmed staged workshop showing how the Voice Theatre Lab developed the ideas, based on depictions of the five elements - wood, fire, metal, water and earth - which were then used in their adaptation of Marlowe’s play.
