Quinta is a London-based multi-instrumentalist performer, improviser and experimental composer.  

As well as her solo project, Quinta has worked with Bat for Lashes, Lamb, Penguin Café, Marques Toliver, Patrick Wolf, and Radiohead’s Philip Selway, as well as pioneering ‘paperteers’, The Paper Cinema and award-winning acrobatic troupes Ockham's Razor and Mimbre.

She was 2015/16 Music Fellow at Rambert Dance Company and is one quarter of all-female experimental arts collective, Collectress (www.collectress.co.uk).

She mainly plays keyboards, violin, viola, musical saw and ukelele, but dips into a bigger box of tricks including lever harp, recorder, melodica, and glockenspiel when adventures call. 

Praise for 'My Sister, Boudicca':

"Wistful, sparse, and transportive; this record sparkles with a sense of play, of willful originality and effortless grace." Danny Wadeson, The 405.

"As the album comes to a close, you get the idea you’ve just been to the most peculiar recital you’re ever likely to experience. Quinta comes from a different place, and a different age. There aren’t enough albums these days that are genuinely fascinating. This one is. Cherish it." Sam Shepherd, The Line of Best Fit.

"This is probably the strangest, most beguiling record I’ve heard in a long time. It’s hard to describe as it is so singular that comparisons are difficult and almost unhelpful. As a work of art it is wonderful: strange, beautiful and irresistibly unique." Nick Lewis, God is in the TV.

Praise for 'The Quick of the Heart':

“An utterly beautiful and magical album…full of gems from start to finish” Cast the Dice.

"So strikingly alien, yet brimming with such passion and humanity” Fresh on the Net.

"Complex, luxurious, majestic, enchanting" Ondarock.

Our work is a campaign to increase visibility, voice and community with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). 
 
CSA remains a taboo subject and is rarely talked about outside therapeutic support settings and, because of this, survivors lack cultural and political representation resulting in CSA survivors being the largest marginalised group most people have never heard of.
 
There’s an estimated 11 million of us. 
 
VGC’s work seeks to remove barriers to participation for CSA survivors and drive narrative change moving away from ideas of victimhood, guilt, shame, isolation and cultural silencing towards celebrating survival, joining together and laying claim to cultural space to make noise about our experiences, rights and concerns. We do this through creative activities:  performances, installations, poetry, writing, workshops, campaigns, consultancy and more.
 
Artistic Director, Viv Gordon has a strong track record as a theatre maker, arts/mental health campaigner & survivor-activist grounded in her lived experience of child sexual abuse.
