Set and Graphic Designer / Performer
Persona Collective
June - Oct 2020
From June - October 2020, we were resident tutors, artists and designers at The Koppel Project’s experimental campus at the Old Central St Martins (CSM) buildings. The Halfway House was a site-specific immersive theatre performance devised by a diverse, intergenerational group of performers from the community. As well as being a lead role in the production, I was also the Graphic and set designer. 

The buildings are on the cusp of being part-demolished and redeveloped into a hotel. Taking inspiration from this, the space was transformed from an abandoned art school into a hotel. The textile dye room into the hotels laundry room, the tutors offices into hotel bedrooms and the theatre reception into a hotel lobby. I was continually inspired by the space, the objects and the stories, influencing the design process.
