BEAM

by Nadine Benjamin & ensemble

Director, co-dramaturg, trauma specialist: Darren Abrahams

Set and Costume design: Sarah Jane Booth

Video Design: Ellie Thompson

A multi-media music theatre piece based on the life story of opera singer Nadine Benjamin, using performance to highlight the many ways that trauma affects a life.

BEAM follows one woman’s journey from fragmentation to wholeness, exploring sexuality; race; gender; neurodiversity – dyspraxia, trauma-tourettes – domestic violence; bullying; addiction, and the role of music and creativity as healing forces in her life.

Team BEAM develops a new inclusive process of co-construction as a working practice and co-creation as an artistic practice.
