Mr. Moor has worked with Thermal (John Butcher and Thomas Lehn), with Magpie Music and Dance Company, and sound poet Anne James Chaton. He has also collaborated with dancer and choreographer Nora Heilmann, and with the Dutch theatre companies The Ex and D’Electrique, including for their production of A Clockwork Orange.
