A quick update of what we’ve been up to recently – from Russia to the French Riviera via a Shoreditch basement, lots of good things underway.

Fidelio at Perm 36:

Jordan has been working with SCDLP Architects on the set design of a new production of Beethoven’s one and only opera, Fidelio, being performed in July this year by Perm State Opera and Ballet Theatre of Russia. To be staged in the grounds of Perm 36, an operational gulag until 1988, the project is part set design, part site-specific installation – a series of stages and architectural events spread through the gulag’s grounds. A couple of pics:

La Belle Époque:

A certain Riviera palace is ear-marked for the Starchitect treatment. To set the scene, design consultant Jane Withers commissioned House of Jonn and Thomas Greenall to produce a context study of its aesthetic, cultural and historical significance. Fingers crossed for a proper site visit..

Club That Shall Remain Nameless:

Can’t reveal any details yet sadly but excited to also be doing a little work on a new club opening in Shoreditch this summer. Nothing but a derelict ex-industrial shell at the moment but come July or August home to 900 creatures of the night…

So — all a bit hectic just now but great to be busy. Please just give us a shout if anything takes your interest.

Really pleased to be paired with Claudie Plen and Andrea Ingrisch, two of the amazing pool of professional coaches who bring their perspective to the CiR programme. Also very excited to have been introduced to curator Kati Howe, with who we look forward to developing new work over the course of the year. One potential project for the Club already under discussion – more about that soon hopefully…
