Waterloo Festival thrives on creative partnerships, on bringing artists and musicians to collaborate with and showcase their wonderful work to our communities in Waterloo, Lambeth and - thanks to the marvels of the internet - elsewhere. In this series, we meet some of our creative partners for 2020. First up is Flux Soup.
Flux Soup is a Waterloo based art collective founded in 2010 by Abigail Tripp, Kevin Poulton and Stuart Fisher. They collaborate with fellow artists, film-makers, musicians and poets to showcase unique work in unusual venues. They have curated shows at Block 336, the Cinema Museum, the Horse Hospital, IKLECTIK and last year created Frank's Trophies for The Creative Takeover at the Bargehouse, an immersive audio-visual installation with live performances and film screenings.
Waterloo Station might be the busiest terminus in the UK with 100 million visits per year, however, to 10,000 people, Waterloo is home. Over the course of Waterloo Festival, Flux Soup will be presenting Waterloo at home; a sensory journey through a Waterloo micro World. How will they do this?
"We're inviting everyone to explore unusual Waterloo with audio walks including poems and stories about the area. Enter What’s your Waterloo? send photos, collages, drawings and paintings showing what your Waterloo is. Listen to Two Men in a Box, a new tragicomedy, are they really in a box? Join our Cocktail Club, design a cocktail recipe and celebrate with Flux Soup Disco in our ‘virtual’ Cocktail lounge."
