Birmingham From Above Documentary

Birmingham From Above is a performance inspired by an aerial photograph, and was delivered in partnership with The REP theatre in Birmingham. The performance was created by director Tom Mansfield, playwright Rochi Rampal and sound artist Duncan Grimley, in collaboration with a group of seventeen young people from Birmingham and the West Midlands. The performance explored themes of flight, industry and migration. It was staged in Centenary Square, where the audience watched from one of the Library of Birmingham roof terraces, and listened to the soundtrack on headphones. This is a documentary showing creation of the performance. It features interviews with participants and leaders, captures their experiences, and follows the development of the project.
