The Horniman Museum and Gardens and Trinity Laban have been working together on exciting projects since 2009

 

Object in Focus

Every year, we feature an object selected from the Horniman Museum. Placed on the ramp in the Laban Building, it inspires some of the programming at the Horniman Museum and Garden’s Summer Festivals, including commissioned work and participatory opportunities and performances.

Festival of Dance Summer / 2019

Summer 2019 marked the 10th anniversary Trinity Laban have worked in partnership with the Horniman Museum. The celebrations reflected on a decade of collaboration, exploration and community togetherness with pop-up performances and family workshops in and around the museum and gardens, flash mobs and commissions from professional artists. The programme was inspired by the Object in Focus, a pair of anthropomorphic Stilt steps from Marquesas, Oceania, drawing on themes of ceremony, linear motifs and activities of recreation.
