Gloria Xia is a Manchester-based composer originally from Shanghai, China. Her creative practice is rooted in humanity, relationships, and feminism; she creates music that embraces vulnerability and honesty, allowing space for discomfort and bizarreness. Gloria has worked with ensembles such as Hypercube, Ensemble Modern, and London Contemporary Soloists, and as part of Vocalverse and Eugene Difficult Music Ensemble; she is currently studying at the Royal Northern College of Music with Larry Goves and Steven Daverson.

We chatted with Gloria about narrative, rituals, New Discipline, autobiographical experiences, and honesty and vulnerability in composition - have a read now on PRXLUDES:

PLASTIC BODIES - a new experimental opera created by composers, performers, and devisers Amy Bryce, Rosie Middleton, Sarah Parkin, Maya-Leigh Rosenwasser, and Catherine Valve - explores this question through multi-faceted, darkly funny experimental music theatre that sheds light on hidden abuse behind the scenes in the opera industry.

On Thursday 25th September, PLASTIC BODIES returns to Tête-à-Tête Opera Festival with a full-length, hilarious, dark and enthralling performance. Ahead of the performance, Georgie West spoke with the creative team about process, care, and co-creation - interested? Read the full article now on PRXLUDES:
