Multi-award-winning artist, producer, composer, and technologist Imogen Heap joins Roundhouse CEO and Artistic Director Marcus Davey on the latest episode of Making Space: Exploring Creativity, Society, and the Roundhouse.

Heap reflects on creativity, improvisation, neurodiversity, technology, failure, success, flow states, and her two-decade relationship with the Roundhouse. Following her acclaimed performance at the Roundhouse Three Sixty Festival, Heap also reveals that the experience has inspired a new live creative identity, Him Gone Ape, through which she plans to explore fully improvised performance and experimental music-making. She notes: “Improvisation is what I really want to do… it feels effortless, like you’re on a current”.

We also hear about Imogen’s short lived career as a palm reader and her political ambitions if the Green Party gets in!
