Conference Highlights The Dressing Room: Photographs of Actors by Simon Annand. Simon Annad The ‘The Dressing Room’, winner of the 2006 Museum and Heritage award for a project on a limited budget, features black and white photographs taken over 20 years by Simon Annand. His images allow us a rare glimpse of the more private face of famous actors, photographed as they spent time in their West End dressing rooms, preparing to go on stage during ‘The Half’ - the last half-hour before the start of a play. These photos are unique in that they do not portray the actors from a glamorous point of view, but rather, highlight their dedication. The Exhibition will be show in the foyer of Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. FOOTLIGHTS: Capturing the Essence of Performance. Footlights which will examine how artists have captured the fleeting nature of theatrical performances over the centuries. Included will be works by Toulouse Lautrec, designs for the Russian theatre by Natalya Goncharova, and images of Berlin cabaret by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. On show will be designs for fantastic costume and set designs, as well as prints and drawings made by celebrated artists capturing a wide variety of spectator orientated events. Even the audience is put under the spotlight!
