illumiNaughty
illumiNaughty is a voluntary collective of creative enthusiasts who merge music, art and performance together in a 'Digital Theatre.'
Submitted by IllumiNaughty.
With Colour, Comedy and Chaos at the core of our crusade, illumiNaughty’s been creating a high energy ‘Digitial Theatre’ since March 2006. What started as an impulse to cause a little musical mayhem at The Zoo transformed into a desire to create Manchester’s most ambitious and mischievous project yet.
Currently at the Ritz Ballroom, the voluntary crew proudly boasts a huge cross-section of people with inter-disciplinary expertise and a common goal. We’re united in a passion to make unparalleled club events that will be remembered for ever. Beaming and Breathless. That’s how we like our crowd :]
Making illumiNaughty as over-whelming and interactive as possible we want to immerse participants in a digital carnival space. Acting as a platform for musicians, visual manipulators, inventors and artisans of all kinds to showcase their skills, we provide a multi-sensory environment with no bounds! We welcome the denizens of Manchester to join in as we push the ‘digital theatre’ concept to new possibilities!
The production elements incorporated in our show have spawned a number of side-projects and word of our unique approach to venue transformation has spread, our decor and installations adorning clubs and festivals across the UK (Oh My God! Chichime, Matter, Standon Calling, Mad Ferret and Kendal Calling).
Fusing ideas, recruiting new folk and inspiring innovation, we run workshops covering techniques from DJing and sound engineering, VJing, decor creation and performance – creating an all inclusive and expansive social network Hosted by illumiNaughty itself.
The process begins 6 months before each show, so it’s a full on journey from creative spark to kaleidoscopic carnage. Contact Jugglers, fire-tamers and carnivorous plants stalk the dancefloor, interactive TV sculptures flicker on and off, silhouette shapes slink behind screens and Gorillas break-dance with Goblins onstage. Spectacles you don’t forget!
Always encouraging new enthusiasts to get involved our crew constantly expands. Circus, theatre and festival rolled up in one, we’ve evolved a lot but are financially stretched as far as we can get, the thing is, we’re far from finished yet…
With the Umbro Grant we’d:
• Invest in professional quality cameras, video, editing and visual equipment (projectors, screens, oil wheels etc) to capture and archive the practical process and outcome of each show. Currently hiring, we’d be able to have equipment ‘on hand’ for use in teaching workshops and testing new ideas in between events.
• Create a professional website dedicated to showcasing Videos, photographs and mixes of ALL artists work, promoting the community to a wider audience.
• Expand the workshops and invest in equipment (such as sewing machines for decor and costume creation and specialised tools i.e. welding equipment for large-scale installations).
• Take our show into other musical territories with the same theatrical element. Ideas such as ‘Dr Gonzo’ Sanatorium’ (merging live metal and industrial/rock DJ’s) and ‘illumiNasty' (breakbeat/dubstep) have been in the burner for quite some time.
With the grant's help we can expand our collective and push the limits of our production through the roof.
Nothing Is Impossible…
BBBOOOOYYYYAAA! Best of luck folks!!!!
