Abbey Road celebrates the reopening of Studio One with ‘Synergy In Motion’

Abbey Road’s Studio One hasn’t been host to a dance performance since Kate Bush filmed a music video there back in 1981. To mark its grand reopening back in March, then, it was only fitting that the recording venue pulled out all the stops with a night of dance performance, dubbed ‘Synergy in Motion’.
Of course, only industry big dogs could pull off such a monumental performance. That’s why Royal Ballet alumnus Joseph Toonga was selected to conjure up some visceral choreography, while acclaimed film composer Daniel Pemberton (Spider-Man, Ocean’s 8) handed over his repertoire of film scores, to be remixed by Abbey Road’s artist in residence, Jordan Rakei

While only a select few could fit between the walls that has seen everyone from Little Simz to Harry Styles record, Abbey Road has just dropped a film, Abbey Road Presents: Synergy In Motion, that delves into March’s emblematic performance. Specifically, it’s angled around the journey behind this “beautiful collision” of dance, film and cutting-edge contemporary music (Jordan Rakei is, after all, known for his production wizardry).
