About this Event

Join artist and theatre lighting designer Laurie Paul for a practical workshop experimenting with the construction of a ‘People’s Luminaire’.

Working with salvaged lenses and projector parts, we will attempt to start building mobiles and lanterns to illuminate a speculative workers’ theatre, drawing on the revolutionary design legacies of Josef Svoboda, Alf Armitt and the Shanghai theatre of the 1930s.

All welcome - no practical experience necessary!
