Please note this episode was recorded over Zoom in January 2021
In this episode I talk to musician Polly Wright. Polly’s work encompasses performance, film, text and installation. She explores nostalgia, memory and stories against a backdrop of the rural landscapes of Norfolk and Suffolk.
She often works collaboratively and has created music for theatre, installation, poetry, fashion and dance and performed headline sold out shows at The National Portrait Gallery and Hoxton Music Hall. Her album ‘Sing as the Crow Flies’, a collaboration with fellow composer Laura Cannell was Folk album of the month in The Guardian.
She has also written two full length poetry collections and is one of Norwich Arts Centre’s supported artists.
In this episode we talk about the development and evolving nature of a creative practice and the conditions needed to help our creativity to thrive.
Please listen to the end to hear some of Polly's beautiful music. Enjoy!
