A performance art event based in costume, fashion design and theatre
Panoply is a performance art event based in costume, fashion design and theatre. It is a new cultural masquerade. The inaugral Panoply took place in October 2010. The Aim was to promote explorative works of performance art. The Volkov Commanders bring Panoply to the vacant, Piccadilly Place ground floor retail units. The space is brutalist in it's architectural style, without any soft wood or polished floors. Replacing the lack of shop furnishings with progressive fashion design and live sculptural works displayed in front of an audience. Appropriating 'commerce' and the commercial in order to insert within it the hand made and conceptually driven. Artists: Esther Arocha, Anna Beam, Anthea Bush, Sacred Geometry, Sally Gilford, Aliyah Hussain, Steve Hockett, Nicola Ruben Montini, Rachel Maclean, Mariel Osborn, Ashling Smith, Jo Scorah, Edward Indiana Wiffen, Estelle Wooley.
