Essex University Conference: ‘Myth, Literature and the Unconscious’
2nd, 3rd, 4th Sept 2010.
As part of the ongoing Orpheus Project, a presentation was made of film and images by Penny Hallas, script by Lyndon Davies, with music drawn from Gill Steven’s composition ‘Sounds from Solitude’. Making of the film was supported by technical wizard Steve Groves.

This Arts Council Wales Research and Development project involves collaboration with poets and writers, Graham Hartill, John Goodby and Lyndon Davies, and musician Gillian Sevens, (Composer, Crwth and Viola player).
The project is an exploration of why the Orpheus myth is still so potent today, informed by the interplay between spoken, musical and visual languages.
Work has focussed on the caving system at Craig Y Cilau National Nature reserve on Mynydd Llangattock, with artwork, films, readings, recordings and crwth playing in and around the caves.
