Minotail

A promenade show for families produced by The Place and presented for the first time in The Pirate Castle in Camden Lock. The project includes half term workshops at the Pirate Castle for local young people to make sets for the piece.

Embark on this interactive subterranean journey through different sounding environments enriched by a theatrical “sound hunt” as a map, a golden thread, and a sleeping monster inspire you to explore the alcoves, tunnels, and boats of the Pirate Castle.

Hide&Seek

The Worst of Scottee

Everyone has done stuff they regret – most people bury it in the past. Six months ago Scottee hired a psychotherapist and a filmmaker to dig up his past. The Worst of Scottee sees Time Out Performer of The Year encounter past flames, ex-friends and people who no longer like him in attempt to find out where he went wrong.

Adopt-A-ShutterPatch Workshop

Cinter Design will be hosting planting sessions for their exciting new vertical growing system. Construction of ShutterPatches will be demonstrated and visitors will have the chance to adopt a ShutterPatch to grow their own crops at home.

Ghostly Pin-hole Workshop

Madaleine is a Camden based experimental performer, director and photographer working in Camden. In contrast to our increasingly digital approach to photography; this workshop is an opportunity to rediscover the darkroom and experiment with this enchanting photographic process. Using handmade pinhole cameras and taking advantage of the long exposure times, the participants will collaborate to create a series of unique, ghostly self portraits.

Bridge Links

A site-specific soundscape created from a series of sampled field recordings at locations along the Regents Park canal. The work will be installed beneath selected bridges and experienced by passers by walking along the Regents Park towpath. The public are invited to help in the creation of the soundscape adding sound recordings via mobile phone and upload via the website.

The Artists’ Museum

The Artists’ Museum imagines London as the most exquisite museum collection in the world; unique, diverse, and extraordinarily fascinating. The project will ask artists living and working in the Borough of Camden to select five objects, places, views or sounds which hold a particular interest for them. These might be found in a park, museum, pub or street.

Artists giving tours of the museum’s collections include: Siobhan Davies, Laura Ford, Antony Gormley, Simon Periton, and Richard Wentworth.

Thingmaker

Thingmaker runs events to inform, educate, and entertain audiences around 3D printing and 3D technology and they develop creative new technologies that are novel, fun and downright interesting. For Camden New Wave, Thingmaker will give participants the opportunity to see themselves printed out on a 3D printer and take part in an exhibition of Camden.

Phantom Railings

An interactive sound installation in Malet Street Gardens, whose railings were removed as part of the 1940s war effort and never replaced, leaving a line of iron stumps along the surrounding wall. Using sensor-based acoustic devices, the installation makes evident the absence of railings by creating a resemblance of the familiar sound produced by running a stick along an iron fence.

This installation will be accompanied by a performance and a symposium.

Soundcastle

Soundcastle is a pioneering Camden-based arts collective who create new music through diverse collaborations. They will be running a music workshop and collaborative performance for families at Coram’s Fields. Anyone is welcome to join with instruments and voices to make a spontaneous musical composition inspired by the place, the people, and the moment.

That Colour Suits You

Studio Interave are showing a ‘work in progress’ a small prototype of a larger installation planned for 2014 – “PaintWall’. An interactive installation, a wall which ‘mimicks’ the colour of any object held close allowing users to build up images, text and pattern with everyday objects -hats, bags, books etc -on the matrix of lights. This colourful surface is an invitation to play and to communicate, an intervention altering the rules of public behaviour and encouraging dialog, co-operation, and communication between individuals.

The Floating Cinema

Join UP Projects’ The Floating Cinema and artists Tracy & Hobbs at King’s Cross’ Granary Square Steps for a day of ‘Water Folk’ activities as part of the Camden New Wave Festival. Take a close look through microscopes and magnipots at the cornucopia of fascinating creatures you can dip direct from the canal with artists Tracy & Hobbs. Observe these creature’s movements and shapes from their hidden world as never seen before; magnified onto our custom built cinema screen or projected bank-side after dark and see if yours is the catch of the day!

We’re Here…

A group of young people from Youth Sauce are working with Camden-based photographer, Josefina Lopez, to capture and showcase portraits from the Somers Town community in a projection project. The images will be beamed onto a building façade in Chalton Street for the community and visitors to enjoy. The project will provide accreditation for ten young people and an online platform for the public to post their own portrait images.
