LONDON BRIDGE TRAIN STATION HAS 16 PLATFORMS YET NO PLATFORM 7

MOST COMMUTERS DO NOT NOTICE

THIS REFLECTS THE WAY MANY IN THE WEST LIVE LIFE TODAY

WHAT SURROUNDS BECOMES INVISIBLE

AN ABSTRACTION CAN HELP SEE WHAT IS ALWAYS THERE

AN ABSTRACTION CAN BECOME SPATIAL POETRY

WELCOME TO PLATFORM-7

WHO WE ARE

WHO WE ARE

WE ARE A MICRO EVENTS COMPANY THAT FACILITATES LIVE PERFORMANCE IN EVERYDAY SPACE

WE CREATE SPATIAL POETRY AS A WAY OF ASSISTING PEOPLE TO NOTICE THINGS THEY SEE EVERY DAY

WE SEE PUBLIC SPACE AS A BLANK CANVAS THAT WE THEN OVERLAY WITH ORIGINAL LIVE PERFORMANCE

WE SEE LIVE PERFORMANCE AS A WAY OF COMMUNICATION, A FORM OF SERIOUS PLAY RATHER THAN AN ACT OF RITUAL WE CREATE UNIQUE LIVE EXPERIENCES WITH A DISTINCTIVE AMBIENCE THAT ALLOWS FOR EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS

WE ARE PLATFORM-7

WHAT WE DO

WE CURATE LIVE PERFORMANCE EVENTS FROM INCEPTION TO EVALUATION IN PUBLIC SPACES AROUND SOCIAL ISSUES AND FACILITATE EVENTS FOR ARTISTS WHO REQUIRE PERFORMANCE, TECHNICAL AND LOGISTICAL SUPPORT

AN EVENT HAPPENS ONLY ONCE, IT CAN NEVER BE REPEATED

CURATE

WE ORIGINATE, FACILITATE AND CREATE MULTIPLATFORM LIVE PERFORMANCE EVENTS AROUND CORE SOCIAL THEMES OF COMMUNITY, MEMORY, OPPRESSION, IDENTITY, STORYTELLING, SOCIAL JUSTICE OR INCARCERATION

ACADEMICALLY RESEARCHED, EACH EVENT IS SITE SPECIFIC AND AIMS TO ENGAGE THE VIEWER INTO CONSIDERING THE SUBJECT EXPLORED FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DISCUSSING ANY OF OUR PRESENT AND FUTURE PROJECTS OR WISH TO BECOME INVOLVED PLEASE GET IN TOUCH

FACILITATE

WE HAVE BEEN CURATING, FACILITATING AND ADVISING ON LIVE EVENTS FOR 18 YEARS IF AN IDEA OR PERFORMANCE HAS ORIGINALITY WE ARE INTERESTED WE BRING OUR FASCINATION FOR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ARTIST, THE AUDIENCE AND THE SPACE TO EVERY EVENT WHERE WE ARE INVOLVED

IF YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH AN IDEA, AN OWNER OF A SPACE IN NEED OF TRANSFORMATION, AN EVENT ORGANISER IN NEED OF ORIGINALITY, A CAUSE IN NEED OF INSPIRATION OR AN ORGANISATION NEEDING TO CONNECT TO PEOPLE IN AN INNOVATIVE WAY,THEN GET IN TOUCH
