Theatre Design and Miniaturisation –
As a Theatre Designer with 40 years’ experience, making models and miniaturisation has been part of my regular world and very much a tool of the trade. In this hour I will discuss my craft but also talk about the allure of miniaturisation and how I have explored that with my own performance-based work “Front Window” and “Solotoria”. I will also reference projects created at LIPA where I taught design for 27 years.

Your ticket price includes a cup of tea or coffee and a cream scone.
