Gallery: Living Portraits - The Fantastical Medieval - Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts

Our annual Living Portraits exhibition features the work of our first year Theatre & Performance Design students.

Over six weeks they researched, designed, sourced and constructed these fabulous frames and costumes. As part of their brief the designs had to include at least two elements which have been recycled, repurposed, and reused.
