Spiral Festival 2010

Camden Arts Centre, London

Camden Arts Centre is delighted to present Spiral, its free annual summer festival taking over the studios, garden and café for the bank holiday weekend in August – open to families and visitors of all ages.

Visitors can build their own monumental sculpture from artist Serena Korda’s deceptive, unlikely objects and in doing so help her create a new ritualised dance to be performed at the Festival. Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa will work with a choreographer to develop a new dance class where visitors can learn to dance like a stadium rock stars such as the lead singers of Coldplay, Iron Maiden and The Who. Fresh from the success of their tour to the Copenhagen Climate Conference, The Gluts will invite visitors to join them on their film set in their studio and help them shoot a viral music video. Using a variety of costumes, scenarios and locations for their production the films will be premiered at the Spiral Festival 2010.

The festival will present creative, entertaining, and engaging artists’ projects, workshops and performances featuring work from this year’s Spiral residency artists. Activities and performances will run throughout the weekend with timed events linked to the residency projects, and activities taking inspiration from the current Camden Arts Centre exhibitions by Jim Hodges and Breda Beban.

The Spiral Residencies celebrate 20 years of the residency Programme at Camden Arts Centre. Serena Korda, Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa and Hayley Newman and The Gluts have been selected from the Centre’s past programme have each been invited to the Artists’ Studio for a week to develop a new, collaborative piece of work which will culminate in the Spiral Festival 2010. Visitors are invited to take part in the development of their projects, through participating in sculptural constructions, dance rehearsals, the production of viral music videos and a series of open studio days.

The residency programme sits at the very heart of all that Camden Arts Centre does. Since the scheme’s inception in 1990 more than 80 artists from across the world have occupied the Artists' Studio, taking time to think, realise new ideas, tackle different disciplines and create new work. Their presence adds vitality and creativity to the whole programme and has resulted in some
remarkable projects.

Workshops at the festival include sculpture with Viyki Turnbull in the Ceramics Studio, where families can combine clay with various materials to create unfired experiments to take home. In the Drawing Studio, families can drop in to work with Matthew Krishanu using the Camden Arts Centre’s garden as a starting point for drawing and printing activities. All workshops are free.
