Lost & Found Orchestra

Plastic water containers, filing cabinets and glass bottles are unlikely musical instruments, but for the members of the Lost and Found Orchestra founded by the creators of Stomp, they are integral to their latest show which goes on tour in France on 10th March. The orchestra's base is in a large warehouse near Brighton, on the southern English coast. As the orchestra rehearsed for beating metal filing cabinets, clanging fire extinguishers, rattling shelves and blowing into traffic cones, it turns unlikely ingredients into art. The orchestra was conceived a decade ago and has performed in Sydney, London, Amsterdam and Paris. But it only performs for a fortnight a year, meaning that for its creators, it still feels new.
