STORE%E2%80%99s third London Summer School will be in based in Gillett Square in the heart of Dalston, one of London%E2%80%99s most energetic and creative neighbourhoods. We will design and construct a stage for a series of events and performances curated, choreographed and directed in collaboration with local residents and arts groups.The stage will be designed and constructed by the students in collaboration with STORE Associates and under the guidance of experienced makers. Participants on the course will have the rare opportunity to develop a project all the way from concept through to construction and in doing so will develop a variety of skills from draughtsmanship to hands on making at a large scale. This year we will be exploring the theme of The Circus. From the moment of its arrival in town, the circus is a spectacle of the exotic and the extraordinary. As the circus tent is constructed, anticipation builds until opening night when the wonders of the troupe are displayed in a spectacular performance. We will explore these notions of the exotic and the spectacular in the design process and the programming of performances for the stage.Responding to this theme, we will design and construct a stage in the middle of the square. It will be a versatile structure in both form and function, responding to the needs of local partners who will be invited to put on events. The two weeks will culminate in a spectacular public finale to showcase the student%E2%80%99s work.

Equally the course will provide an introduction to ambitious beginners with no design background.STORE's ethos of design through making ensures accessibility to those without extensive experience. Each and every student will be challenged imaginatively and creatively by set themes and by the scale of activities undertaken.
