Invitation to exhibit at the SBTD national exhibition of UK performance design 2011: Designers for performance are invited to exhibit at the four yearly SBTD national exhibition which is to take place in Cardiff in January 2011. This is an open exhibition though exhibitors must be, or become, members of either the SBTD, ALD or STC and the work exhibited must have been realised between 2007-2011.
Designers are easily isolated by their work. Our Society puts us in touch with one another and with those working in theatre in other countries. Learn more about the SBTD…
From the Blue Pages Magazine:
Gloriously Impure ‘Anthony Burgess wrote in his 1970 introduction to that extraordinary book All About H. Hatterr by G.V. Desani, an early example of magic realism: “It is not pure English; it is like the English of Shakespeare, Joyce and Kipling, gloriously impure.” Khan, Zaidi and others like them in increasing numbers have created a brand of work that is, as Burgess saw in that early example, distinctively British.’ Rose Wend Fenton and Lucy Neal The Turning World
Lighting Kursk I had been invited to talk about my lighting design for Kursk, a theatre production based on the Russian submarine disaster of August 2000. Staged by the theatre company Sound & Fury in collaboration with Bryony Lavery. Produced by Fuel and the Young Vic Theatre, London. The play was performed at the Young Vic in May 2009, and will tour nationally and internationally from March 2010.
