SOME OF MY DESIGN DRAWINGS AND MODEL
"AWAY WITH THE CIRCUS"
Royal Albert Hall, London
February 2016
Designer/Director Laura Petkute
An outreach project involving students from Central Saint Martins and residents of the sheltered housing scheme at Philip House, Kilburn. Through workshops and collaboration we developed a promenade journey of performance and installation in different passageways around the Hall. This journey was then shared with various community groups around London with aim of opening this spectacular Hall to people who otherwise may not get an opportunity to explore it.
I designed costumes, developed characters and directed 3 site-specific performances in a variety of spaces.
