Inspirational Arts were delighted to work in partnership with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestra’s Live , East Herts Council & The Rhodes Arts Complex to produce Talkin Generations in November 2009. Talkin Generations was an artist led multi disciplinary project that investigated the hidden musical legacy of the Rhodes Arts Complex in Bishop’s Stortford. It examined the musical, artistic and social political period of the 1960’s through research, consultation and workshops, to create new work that was premiered at Rhodes. In the 1960’s the Rhodes Arts Complex played host to some of the biggest names in popular music including The Who, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Van Morrison & Stevie Wonder. This production was inspired by this fabulous period in Rhodes history.
