The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, and The Society of British Theatre Designers (SBTD) are hosting Transformation & Revelation, the UK Design for Performance Exhibition 2011, in March.The exhibition will take place in the Royal Welsh College’s new exhibition arcade, showcasing the most innovative and groundbreaking designs from UK based performance designers, and members of the Society of British Theatre Designers between 2007 and 2011. Exhibitors include Antony Gormley and John Macfarlane, who have both just been nominated for Olivier awards for their designs, Es Devlin’s designs for Lady Gaga’s Monsterball tour. There will be the new designs for Billy Eliott’s New York production and the Lion King designer Richard Hudson’s latest works, as well as the designer from the Horrible Histories tour. “Transformation & Revelation will show designs for productions from across the UK and internationally, featuring designs, models, costumes, puppets, and a complete record of some of the most exciting theatre, opera and dance work from many of the world’s leading designers,” explains Sean Crowley, director of drama at Royal Welsh College, and exhibition coordinator for SBTD. “It is an extraordinary opportunity to host this acclaimed exhibition and to host it in the College’s purpose built exhibition arcade.” The exhibition will feature an unprecedented amount of exhibitors, including emerging talents such as recent Linbury Biennial Competition winners. Since 2001 Royal Welsh College students have consistently been among this award’s finalists, with Jean Chan among the four winners in 2009, and Tom Scutt and Rhys Jarman winning in 2007. The exhibits that will represent the UK in the next Prague Quadrennial (the international exhibition of Scenography featuring the work of over 400 designers from 50 countries) next June, will be selected from the work presented at this National Exhibition. |
