*ELEPHANT AND CASTLE*

Tim Hopkins will introduce a new lyric theatre /digital media 
work-in-progress, called ELEPHANT AND CASTLE.

"Architecture is music, frozen." Goethe

A new lyric theatre piece using the web to link audiences in two 
architectural spaces simultaneously, based at the Elephant and castle 
Shopping Centre and Aldeburgh Festival, Suffolk. This explores how human 
activity is directed by environment, in this case in two places that 
represent contrasting ideas of a designed society.

The Elephant was Britain's first Drive-In Shopping Centre, opened in 
1965, and along with many other buildings of its generation, is being 
redeveloped or effaced. The Snape Maltings concert hall was opened in 1967.
