'Hoo-ray and up she rises' was commissioned by Opera North as a kinetic 'Singing Shop' window for Overworlds & Underworlds, a 2012 Cultural Olympiad project.

OverWorlds & UnderWorlds took place in Leeds, 18-20 May, 2012 with dance, film, music and installations flooding the city.

The Artistic Directors of the project were the artists and filmmakers The Quay Brothers.
