hello stranger South London explores the trans gaze and designing multiplicities. It will consist of an installation and two days of workshops. These workshops will be a place for designers from all disciplines working in live performance to discuss their artistic interests, voice their concerns, dream big and imagine new ways of working. Using concepts around the trans gaze, queer imagination and non-anthropocentric models of collaboration as starting points, the events will pose questions such as: what can design-led work in live performance look, sound and feel like? How can we embrace pluralities in our work and processes? What does symbiosis look and feel like in design?

The workshops will be a mixture of discussion, practical exercises and design jamming. They are free to attend and open to anyone working within set, costume, lighting, sound or video design for live performance, of all genders and orientations. The work will inform an installation that will run at Deptford Lounge from 14th March - 14th April, with an open install on 13-14th March. 

Please get in touch with any queries. To sign up for the workshops please email the South Lonfon team with ‘Workshop Sign Up’ in the email subject line.
