Elle Chante: Accessible Dreamscapes

Threading together airy vocals with cinematic and experimental production, Chante sings about the human experience, creating work that is both hauntingly vulnerable and powerfully fragile. Existing outside the norms of society for her entire life, she seeks to share the experience of being an outsider by making art that celebrates the eccentric, validates the difficulties of living and helps us all to feel a little less alone. The show combines learnings from access focus groups with Elle’s surreal and enchanting musical world, taking audiences on a tender, vulnerable journey of lived experience of complex physical and mental health conditions, culminating with a sharing of Chante’s new EP PENUMBRA. ACCESSIBLE DREAMSCAPES, integrates sensory experiences and arts technologies to meet a range of audience access needs and interests. Chante is a musical self expressionist based in Wolverhampton, UK. Turning to music as a form of therapy, her siren-like sound developed through her experiences of Complex PTSD, EDS, POTS and Thyroid cancer. Commissioned by UNLIMITED and The Glasshouse International Centre for Music.
