Selected to exhibit documentation from Axiom Project for the Society of British Theatre Designers exhibition at the V&A entitled 'Staging Places'

Staging Places celebrated the diversity of British performance in the years 2016 - 2019 and included designs across spaces and genres. The exhibition presents costumes, set designs, models, photos, drawings and puppets that reveal the creative process behind designing for performance.

Exhibited Item: Documentation about Axiom research project.

Axiom was created during Acts:ReActs 4 residency in London in 2017. In the residency Kate Lane & Joe Wild turned the gallery into a performance making machine.

It looked to question the performer’s body as author and played with post-dramatic aspects of time/ space/ body and media through game playing, performance and creation of objects. It involved into a series of performance and participatory games inviting the audience to interact physically either live or virtually through telematic performance.
