We’re so excited to share that Imogen Knight will be leading our next Citz Theatre Makers with guest artist Matthew Herbert…
Me We.
Kindness is often invisible and yet so deeply felt when we experience it. An exploration of kindness and its impact on us as individuals and communities. Over the course of this workshop series, we will explore ways of expressing kindness through story, movement and sound with imagination, honesty, creativity and joy!

About Matthew Herbert
Matthew Herbert is a leading composer and sound designer. His compositions have featured in theatre, film, television and video games! He has been commissioned by institutions such as the Royal Opera House, Manchester International Festival and Deutsche Grammophon to name just a few. His engagement with the arts is extensive working for art galleries and festivals, lecturing at universities such as Goldsmiths and Trinity and completing a PhD examining power and meaning in post-concrète music.
