“Clack clack clacky ty clack my teeth repetitively crash together tapping out a beat. I am standing in an old warehouse on the banks of the river Thames.

Clack clack clacky ty clack my teeth wont stop, the beat goes on. As I look across the river I see the landmarks of a new London, an urban landscape of thrusting architectural statements vying for your attention.

Clackity click click click my teeth dance out the rhythm in my mouth. I turn my attention back to the space I am standing in and notice that I am not alone. I look up and see a giant disco ball slowly rotating and if I listen carefully I can hear music. But this is not a party.”
