Life Echo at BOM

We fabricated and installed listening pods for the Life Echo exhibition at BOM (Birmingham Open Media).

 

Visitors are invited to nestle into the pods and listen to the ‘life echoes’ – sound memories – of other people. The project is led by artist Justin Wiggin, who has worked with people living with dementia to see how sound can have an impact on memory, communication and interaction.

 

Life Echo continues until 28 January 2017. Entry is free.

More Wind in the Willows

The Wind in the Willows set for The Old Rep requires a steel-frame, strong enough for actors to climb over whilst still looking visually in-keeping with the rest of the production.

 

We worked with RoomFood to fabricate this frame, which was then painted in the Plane Structure workshop. It’s now all ready for rehearsals to begin!

Wind in the Willows set

Plane Structure is building the set for The Old Rep’s Christmas show, The Wind in the Willows.

 

My favourite element is this boat: it’s formed of plywood, which we have stained white on the exterior and with an oak-effect on the interior. I couldn’t resist having a little sit before it was delivered last week…

Set for The Bear Pit theatre

This bar is actually a theatre set for Stratford-upon-Avon’s Bearpit Theatre Company. Its knock down construction makes it easy to transport and install. It was actually specified that it needs to fit in the back of a Mini Clubman for touring!
