In between her work on various other projects, composer Jocelyn Pook took the time to answer our questions about creating the music for Akram Khan’s Dust, part of Lest We Forget.

Dust was created by choreographer Akram Khan  in 2014, as part of Lest We Forget, our dance programme reflecting on World War I. We met with one of his collaborators, Kimie Nakano, who designed its costumes.

No Man’s Land was created by choreographer Liam Scarlett in 2014, as part of Lest We Forget, our dance programme reflecting on World War I. In its review, The Daily Telegraph wrote that the piece was “atmospherically designed by Jon Bausor”. We recently met with Jon Bausor to discuss the piece’s creation and his inspiration.

Second Breath was created by choreographer Russell Maliphant in 2014, as part of Lest We Forget, our dance programme reflecting on World War I. We met Stevie Stewart, costume designer for Second Breath, to discuss the piece’s creation and her inspiration.
