Alongside MIF's partner architects Hawkins Brown, we designed, fabricated and installed two off-set monolithic stages in the festival's beacon-like brand colours.
Inspiration for the design of both stages was influenced by the architecture that would surround them. They sat firmly opposite each within Festival Square, in front of and completmenting the iconic National Football Museum and Manchester Cathedral.
Manchester International Festival is an art-led festival which is held across numerous venues and locations across Manchester, presenting new works from across the spectrum of performing arts, visual arts and popular culture. MIF commissioned, produced and presented world premieres by artists as diverse as Björk, Steve McQueen, Robert Wilson, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Jeremy Deller, Wayne McGregor, Maxine Peake, Boris Charmatz, The xx, Zaha Hadid Architects, Thomas Ostermeier, Damon Albarn, Punchdrunk, Elbow and Marina Abramović among many others.
The festival was described by The New York Times as 'One of the leading worldwide incubators for new, cutting-edge art. Though the festival has an international outlook and reputation, it also showcases Manchester stories and talent.'
