Personal Invitation: V&A Performance and Talk

I am very happy to invite you to my next collaborative performance at the V&A Museum:

QUEERING THE MIND, RELEASING THE BODY 02

Friday 26th April, 7.50 - 8.20 pm and 8.40 - 9.10 pm

The Globe, Europe 1600-1815, Room 4

V&A South Kensington, Cromwell Road, London

Created with: Conn Williams, FLORA L., Luca Manning, Sakeema Peng Crook

Rooted in queerness, intersectional feminism and mental health, this immersive, multi-sensorial performance invites audiences to imagine fluid identities in a meditative setting. See performers respond to live music through soft movement and audience interaction.

Career insight: Exploring careers in Costume Design

Saturday 27th April, 1 - 2 pm + Open Studio 2.30 - 4 pm

Hochhauser Auditorium, Learning Centre

V&A South Kensington, Exhibition Road, London

Join me as I discuss careers in Costume Design and Wearable Art, together with Tony Award-winning Costume Designer Gabriella Slade and Costume Maker Sophia Denny.

This discussion will explore how to build a career in the creative industry, from getting started to exploring the skills and knowledge needed by contemporary designers and artists to sustain a career in a challenging industry.

This event is hosted and co-produced by the V&A Youth Collective.

Free admission, the in-person event is sold out, if you like to attend email me and I will ask for your name to be added to the list.

This event will be live-streamed to online audiences from the V&A Museum. Book a ticket on this page to join us online

Always on Saturday 27th April, following the Talk, from 2.30 to 4 pm my studio at the V&A will be open to visit for an Open Studio (no booking required and free entry)

Hope to see you there,

All the very best,

Luca
