Hi my name is Heloise Godfrey-Talbot, I’m a video artist.

I’m currently researching the possibility of creating a  digital ‘musical dialogue’ between musicians and individuals who do not use speech as their main method of communicating with the world (specifically those with Autism Spectrum Disorder).

This week, at National Theatre Wales, we met a group of artists from Istanbul and heard the incredible story of the work they’ve made together.

Memet Ali Alabora, Melin Edomwonyl, Meltem Arikan and Pinar Ogun are not a company, as such; they are friends, collaborators and neighbors, in Cardiff as they were in Istanbul.

Last year they made a show; Mi Minor, and within the show they created Pinima,…
