UK Design for Performance 2007-2011

This touring exhibition created by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, in collaboration with the Society of British Theatre Designers celebrates the work of over 30 of the most pioneering British theatre designers, architects and artists.

The selected works on show will range from costumes for live opera and drama to video projections for stadium music concerts and will illustrate how each designer looks for new ways to transform space, light, sound and body for the stage.

Transformation & Revelation will feature drawings, photographs, scale models and costumes, as well as sound, lighting and multi-media installations to present the distinct personal vision and inspiration of each of the designers.

Highlights include Rae Smith's digital projections from the National Theatre's West End production of War Horse (2007); Antony Gormley's creative process for the dance work Sutra produced by Sadler's Wells (2008) and photographs and models of Es Devlin's design for Lady Gaga’s Monsterball Tour (2009- 2010).
