In and Out the V&A

A celebration to mark the opening of the new Exhibition Road entrance to the V&A Museum.

One of 4 commissioned performances that were inspired by the new Sackler Courtyard, the history of the V&A, ’Albertopolis’, and architecture.

A free-flowing movement piece with an eclectic soundtrack that took full advantage of the performance opportunities of the Sackler Courtyard. The audience were encouraged to gather around small groups, open out into larger-shaped circles and, at the end, to sit on the steps facing into the Blavatnik Hall for the final scene. Words were kept to a minimum and a single large cloth sheet created picture frames, referencing the Museum’s Paintings Gallery and cloaked statuesque figures recalled the various sculptures the group (and audience) could see from the courtyard.

There were 4 performances in August, attended by just under 4,000 people.
