Gallery 'The Candidate'

Persona Collective seeks to involve local communities, including both amateur and professional performers, in co-creating its shows, while also using buildings and spaces that are either overlooked or at risk of slipping from living memory. 

 

We became members and spent several months hanging out there, getting to know the regulars and attending bingo nights before developing the show. The show involved about 25 performers, aged 21–84, five live musicians and several designers. A couple of the club’s long-standing members performed in the show too, including the bingo lady, who starred as herself.
