TRAPLORD, Ivan Michael Blackstock (2022)
180 Studios x Sadler’s Wells, a co-production with The Factory and ALTRUVIOLET.
Winner of the 2023 Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production.
Using dance, theatre and spoken word to explore raw and confrontational themes of mental health and masculinity, TRAPLORD is an invitation to question the stereotyping of Black men in contemporary Western society.
As Music Supervisor, Torben produced original music for the score and collaborated with Michael ‘Mikey J’ Asante, Denzel Himself, CREATXR, BRNSRGHT and Mindaugas Juozapavicius.
“…this work from Blackstock and a talented team of creative artists is so truly authentic, so incredibly felt, so pointed in its pain and power that you will think about nothing else for days.” – The Reviews Hub
