WORKSHOP — Drawing Performance Project with Lucy Algar

Park Royal Design District

A unique workshop where participants will engage in movement and drawing exploring the similarities and differences within these activities.

The Atrium, Queensrollahouse

PRDD x London Design Festival 2024 — WORKSHOPS

Jump in and learn new skills with many hands-on workshops, hosted by the artists and makers of Park Royal

This workshop enables 20 participants to discover the similarities and differences between dance and drawing in the extraordinary architectural environment of Queensrollahouse.Led by Lucy Algar and long-time collaborators Kirill Burlov and Chihiro Kawasaki, the group will use a wide variety of drawing materials to encourage confident mark making and to allow the materials to suggest unexpected connections to movement. For instance, the flow of ink on smooth paper connects to fluid movement in quite a different way to charcoal on rough paper. These workshops encourage playful interrogations of the performing body through drawing and suit those interested in both visual and movement arts. The workshop often culminates by creating costumes which may be used to create an installation in Lucy's studio following the workshop, as well as a post-workshop discussion of the work created. Lucy Algar, BA MA FHEA is an artist, performance designer and educator. She is the Course Leader of the BA Theatre Design course at Wimbledon College of Arts, UAL, a post she has held since 2013. Her work includes extensive design for performance both live and for film and TV, art installations in public environments &amp; galleries &amp; exhibition design. Her research and practice focuses on the role of drawing as the primary investigative and communication tool for performance designers. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drawingperformanceproject/?hl=en-gb" title="https://www.instagram.com/drawingperformanceproject/?hl=en-gb" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/drawingperformanceproject/?hl=en-gb </a><a href="https://vimeo.com/user111018947" title="https://vimeo.com/user111018947" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://vimeo.com/user111018947</a>
