Twitter Theatre

Max Dovey

If you visited the Wimbledon College of Art BA Summer Show this year you will no doubt have come across the work of BA Print and Time-based Media graduate Max Dovey (@maxdovey). His ‘Emotional Stock Exhange‘ piece was part performance and part tech wizardry. The work embraced live feeds from Twitter whose subject matter centred around happiness, love and sadness.

We are really excited to announce that Max is back this time with his Twitter Theatre for an event entitled ‘A Limited Engagement’ at the University of the Arts London Gallery in High Holborn on Thursday 3 November, 12.00 – 19.00.

Twitter Theatre turns individual moments from around the world into real time entertainment.

Live Twitter updates provide the subject matter for improvised participatory performances throughout the day culminating in a special seated evening theatre.

Venue: Arts Gallery, University of the Arts London, 272 High Holburn, London WC1V 7EY.

Twitter Theatre will be streamed live from 12.00 on Thursday 3 November.

Collaboration with Rambert Dance Company

BA Costume Design 3rd year students at Wimbledon College of Art, collaborated with Mark Baldwin to create their own designs for the Rambert’s new show Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told.

“Working with Mark Baldwin during our final year at Wimbledon College of Art has given us a valuable insight into the world of professional dance and design.

Mark was inspirational to talk to and work with. He showed genuine enthusiasm and interest in our design work and encouraged us to meet the standards that he would expect from professional designers.  We were lucky enough to be able to sit in on company rehearsals.  The energy and grace of the dancers were very inspiring. Watching them helped us to consider the practicalities of the costumes as well as the design elements.” Kirsty Bell – BA Costume Design student.
