I am Me, We are Kindred

A collaborative process was central to the design, manufacture and installation of an interactive stage set for Spectra Arts, a performance company that draws on the diverse creativity of its mixed professional and learning-disabled community cast to devise multi-sensory theatre.

We designed, fabricated, and installed a sensory playground and immersive set as part of a promenade performance, where the audience travelled around three distinct environments. Each area had a specific sensory experience and included wearable collars made from flocked carpet for audience members, which acted as a travelling set, providing a wearable wall of colour, pattern, and texture at each location.

“With trademark whimsy and intense positivity, this show saw Spectra return with a new adventure for all the senses. All ages and abilities were welcomed as we set off on an extraordinary journey to find out whether you can be you and still be part of your crew. Is it only what we have in common that binds us?” Spectra Arts
