Make/Believe: Design for Performance 2011-2015

Curated and Produced by The Society of British Theatre Designers (SBTD) in collaboration with the V&A Museum and Nottingham Trent University Make/Believe: Design for Performance 2011-2015 brings together an extraordinary range of contemporary designers and artists in performance to show a collection of new work – made within the last four years. 

The exhibition title, Make:Believe, indicates the vision, skills and commitment found in the diversity of performance design today. It will feature work that defines the edges of this artform-in-industry – in music festivals, large scale events such as the Olympics, Paralympics, community opera, found space and promenade performance, in digital, landscape, heritage and media contexts, as well as the intimate and highly valued work that designers are currently doing in education, health and various community settings.
