See Me As I Am
ELFTIn1Voice Choir |
TEDxNHS
• October 2019
The East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT) choir - ELFTIn1Voice - kicked off TEDxNHS 2019 with this fantastic performance of 'See Me As I Am' - a co-write between choir director Leanne Sedin, and Mandeep Singh, a psychiatry trainee and freestyle rapper. The song highlights the importance of co-production and people participation in healthcare and is in itself an example of that.
This piece was performed to the backdrop of improvisation by the choir, led by Leanne. She describes this part of the performance as “music in the moment, a completely unique piece built around Mandeep’s freestyle words”. She also added: “once it is sung it will never be heard again and there’s something very powerful about that”.
