Concept for a flexible Covid-safe performance space constructed using adapted shipping containers to create a series of simple flexible installations around the country, helping to get the arts back in touch with the communities they serve. As normality returns and traditional venues revive, the HIVEs will be a legacy for the communices they have served through the Pandemic.
HIVE installations are flexible and can be erected within existing structures or within landscape / urban settings: their role is simple – to allow the talent and enthusiasm within the sector to re-connect with their community when everyone needs it most.
Developing the HIVE has been a pro-bono research project in collaboration with Tom Guthrie of Music and Theatre for All, with cost advice from Focus.
