Composed music with Matthew Olden for The Shiver, a dance production by Sadhana Dance. The Shiver was shown was premiered in June 2010 and toured the UK in October / November 2010.

Shiver – to shake slightly and uncontrollably as a result of being cold, frightened, or excited, a momentary trembling movement, a spell or attack of shivering. The piece combines dance, music, image and spoken word in an interdisciplinary performance in which three dancers explore the scientific and emotional reasoning behind why we shiver…. and why it can be through pleasure or pain.

The Shiver is a collaboration between choreographer Subathra Subramaniam and  poet and spoken word artist Lemn Sissay. Kathy Hinde and Matthew Olden are collaborating to create the soundtrack for the performance. The team will also work closely with Neuroscientist Morten Kringelbach, and each show will be accompanied by a Cafe Scientifique, hosted by Quentin Cooper.
