Laura Moody

Laura Moody is a composer, cellist, vocalist, songwriter and theatre performer from the UK. Her work focuses on storytelling, ritual, the expressive potential of musicians’ physicality and the transformation of spaces through sound, music and movement. She considers all of her work to be theatre of some kind. In her solo work she explores what is possible using only acoustic cello and voice to create performances which draw on hugely diverse influences. She has also created works for The Hermes Experiment, Phaedra Ensemble, Aldeburgh Festival and is a frequent collaborator at Shakespeare’s Globe and with Radiohead’s Philip Selway. Cellist with the Elysian Quartet for 15 years, she has also worked with Meredith Monk, Björk, Simon Fisher Turner and Kae Tempest among many others.
