Mira subsequently took shape initially as a performance art duo (under the names of Kevin Nehru and Doug Leppard) which made well-received appearances in London art galleries. Gordon and Culshaw then developed material for a live stage show ('New Hope for the Dead', choreographed by Joseph Houseal[3]) that was performed at the Place Theatre, London, and which featured dancers, trapeze artists, martial arts performers and computer graphics. Mira's sole CD New Hope For The Dead,[4][5] made an appearance in the World Music Chart Europe.^{[citation needed]} The band performed at the 1997 Montreux Jazz Festival and disbanded later the same year.
