Last Friday I travelled to the
University of Warwick with my other half and brother to attend my graduation ceremony. I have spent the last 3 years studying part-time for an MA in Educational Leadership which has involved lots of written assignments and action research projects. It was a lovely, if slightly surreal day - I couldn't quite believe I had actually done it!
As for the mad art; I spotted a free event on Friday 30th January at
Central Saint Martins at Kings Cross which seemed very intriguing.... it was entitled
Curating Carnival.
I invited a few friends along and this is what we saw:
 |
| Lots of cool arty types attending the event |
 |
| Dancers wearing metallic sculptures parading in the atrium |
 |
| The lights reflected off the shiny surfaces of the sculptures creating interesting effects in the space |
 |
| Two dancers wearing mirrored masks weaved their way through the flock of sculpture-creatures |
 |
| Three 'rope' dancers unravelled a large pile of pink rope |
 |
| On different levels you could see menacing 'bird' dancers who started off with semaphore style choreography |
 |
| Amazing black and white costumes adorned the 'bird' dancers whose movements had motifs of flight and birds walking |
 |
| The details in the black and white costumes included applique, patchwork and the use of patterned fabric |
I can not claim to understand any of the meaning behind the performance of Curating Carnival, but I do know it was a unique and entertaining experience. A fun free London event!
