10.30am–5.30pm both days. £60. This event is now sold out. Please make sure before booking that you can make the dates as we will not be able to issue a refund less than two weeks before the Weekender.

Led by design maverick Mamoru Iriguchi, this Weekender Lab invites participants to explore DIY approaches to design, focusing on uses of projection and props in performance. Originally trained as a zoologist, Mamoru is an award-winning theatre designer and performance artist known for his playful presentation of technical aesthetics

Artsadmin’s Weekender Labs are curated and run in a spirit of play and collective experiment – more of a lab than a masterclass –  with the content of each reflecting the lead artist’s own practice while responding to the interests of the people in the room. As such, they are fluid and unpredictable in form, sparking new work and collaborations.
