The Orpheus Project commenced in 2010 as an exploration of why the Orpheus myth is still so potent today, informed by the interplay between spoken, musical and visual languages. The site of exploration was Llangattock Caves in the Black Mountains, Wales.
Supported by Arts Council Wales Research and Development Grant.
