Meat Beat Manifesto

Artistic Director Craig Morrison's cyberpunk-inspired vision played a pivotal role in Meat Beat Manifesto's extraordinary live performances. Morrison, a highly skilled artist, meticulously crafted costumes and sets that seamlessly matched the band's creative ethos.

Under Morrison's visionary direction, the band's live shows seamlessly blended auditory and visual elements, resulting in a mesmerizing sensory experience. Dancers, choreographed by Marcus Adams and adorned in Morrison's distinctive creations, captivated the audience with their striking visual presence. These performances featured expertly synchronized projected film and video clips alongside live instruments, sequenced electronic elements, and live DJing. This innovative approach captivated global audiences during the early 90s, solidifying Meat Beat Manifesto's status as pioneers in the industrial hardcore breakbeat music scene, while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of entertainment design.

Morrison's groundbreaking work with Meat Beat Manifesto led to commissions from prominent entertainment figures, including Seal, Soul 2 Soul, and Take That. His contributions were so influential that some of his costume designs now reside in the permanent V&A archive, while his furniture designs are part of the permanent collection at the Science Museum.
