We are a group of third year Theatre Design Students from Nottingham Trent University. We are all interested in varying aspects of theatre ranging from scenic art to costume, puppetry to interactive installation, amongst other things.

We have been given the opportunity to create an exhibition of varying art forms within the National Trust property, Calke Abbey, in Derby. The project explores the history of the building and its former residents that has inspired a range of artistic responses to the curious social dynamics and decline of what was once a grand country-house estate.
