Here is an image of one of the set pieces i spoke about last week! I’ll post the others over the next few weeks! . . . ‘I am me: We are kindred’ my involvement has been with the designing and manufacturing of the stage set and various props at my studio @thedualworks its been interesting for me to see how it relates to some of the themes I’ve been exploring with FlockOmania, such as experiential, sensory and immersive environments, promenade performance, audience interaction and how wearable elements became part of a moving set. This set piece locates wearable collars on the top of the triangles for the audience to wear on there promenade journey. Each collar is made from #Flotex flocked carpet sponsored by @forboflooringuk . . . @spectraartscompany ‘is a performance company that draws on the diverse creativity of its mixed professional and learning disabled community cast to devise multi-sensory, immersive theatre.
