Still feeling inspired by Bridging Worlds at RCM last week ✨ It was a real joy to bring together @royalalberthall Associate Artists @rushilmusic and @abisampa with students from @rcmlondon , @trinitylaban , @rncmlive and @thesunshineorchestra (Chennai, India). Conductors, composers, instrumentalists and dancers collaborated to explore how Western and non‑Western classical traditions can meet, resulting in an evening of bold new creative ideas filled with music and movement.

A collaboration born from connection. The feeling of meeting someone and just clicking should always be given attention in creative spaces, as you never know where it can lead. For Clara and Amelia, a simple crossing of paths in a joint module was the starting point for their friendship, which in turn led to their collaboration on Clara's short film 'Maria', filmed at our Laban Building.

@arrahman x @thesunshineorchestra x @trinitylaban x @kmmcchennai Our Honorary President AR Rahman and members of his Sunshine Orchestra joined us yesterday for a day of brilliant conversation and learning - bringing world-leading organisations together through music and collaboration. The visit included a very special masterclass with our strings students, led by @nic.pendlebury . Our students and the Sunshine players surprised AR Rahman with a stunning collaborative performance of his piece Tu Hi Re/Uyire ✨ Photo: @elliekoepke
