Claire Hodgson is a theatre director who hates rules and who wants to make a difference to the world through the shows that she makes. 

I first met her last year at Camp Bestival, when she was coordinating the Guinness world record attempt for the largest number of simultaneous disco dancers!! 600 altogether - and they did it!!

We talked about how Claire, her brother and her sister cleaned up on disco dancing medals as children and how she went on to found a company called Diverse City, and Extraordinary Bodies for circus artists.

During lockdown she became a sea swimmer and last year she created a large-scale sea choreography.  She is just about to launch a theatre called SW!M in Swanage in Dorset.

Her upcoming project is a musical called ‘Waldo’s Circus of Magic & Terror’ at the Bristol Old Vic. It is a new musical set in 1933 and is based based on true stories about how circuses smuggled people with disabilities out of Germany during WW2.

Claire has a teenage daughter Scarlett who helped her coordinate the WhatsApp group for SW!M and who Claire feels very fortunate to have spent extra time with, because of lockdown.

FMP: Designing for Families and Community. LO1

Week 8

Camp Bestival:

Camp Bestival is a family festival in the UK. It was a festival we frequented when I was little, and the graphic design was always something that stood out to me, even as a child. Throughout the years, the designs have been consistently colourful and illustration-based. My family still own souvenirs from the festival from 2012, featuring the iconic teepee symbol. Looking at their website now, their design language remains the same. Their recent collection was designed by Josie Da Bank, creative director at Bestival.

Louis Vuitton Foundation’s Family Festival:

Oftentimes, design and identity for children or family products and brands, still seem to centre adults. It’s fair enough, as adults are the ones forking out for the experience or product, but could the industry stand to benefit from a design approach that has more of a balance? 

Influenced by the shapes, characters and the compositions of graphic design from the 20s and 30s – chiefly Bauhaus – in this instance he opted to merge a geometric design with little legs, long legs and hats.

“I try to make people smile, and put them in a joyful mood, without it being inherently childish. I hope that everyone who sees it enjoys it.”-Valentin Adam.

How to Co-Design with a Community:

Ken Kirton, co-founder of Hato Press, thinks community is power when it comes to design. Kriton also set up Pick Me Up graphic arts festival 

'As a designer you never design something for yourself, you do it for a wider group. So to involve people in the process ultimately makes for a more engaging project. Our Pick Me Up identity says a lot about our approach, as the concept is all about co-design. It’s a digital tool that allows the creative community but also the wider community to engage with it. They might not be graphic designers themselves but they have an interest in the arts, and they can have a play with the type tool and design their own letterforms, which are used in the exhibition identity and displayed at the show. The font is co-designed, and that’s why it’s so dynamic.

We do a lot of co-design and community projects, doing workshops with schools and higher education, but we also do events and exhibitions, which are all about the public audience. We create a toolkit, which can be a hands-on workshop or digital framework, so people can have a sense of ownership and autonomy over the final thing. One of these workshops is culminating in a co-designed bus, which will be used as a public serving bus, which really rings true with our community spirit.

Reflection, LO4:

These case studies are again, far removed from what I want for Flamingo Park, but the idea of allowing children to get involved artistically has inspired me to consider workshops as park of the park, creating a community hub for all.
