The Loft opposite the Spa – concept design by Grant

We Write
Loft Theatre. New Foyer Design sketch
Sketch 3 of 4. Loft Theatre new entrance/foyer proposal / Drawing 03/GJA

Early in my design career I recall being asked to draw up some design sketches for a new foyer at the Loft Theatre.  Leamington Spa, UK.  Naturally, I leapt out of my studio pronto and was on the spot, in a flash.

Today, everyone’s into live performance ..

Live reality TV.
Live street theatre.
Live pub and pint theatre.
Live online streaming.
Pop up concerts.
Stand ups.

Because …
It’s interactive.  It can pace itself with the audience and
with a sprinkling of VR, it can involve the audience.

No matter where the stages are being set for the next live performances, I urge all to support the venues and performers.

Projects and Ideas

“The storyteller makes the story the instrument of its characters. Over cumulative tellings, the teller’s link to these characters becomes intimate, sometimes so intimate that their very being is drawn over the threshold where tale and reality meet.”  (Grant 2001)
