AT ‘THE SHIMMY’ 19th MAY 2013
Outerglobe.co.uk is very
proud to be commissioned to be part of The Shimmy 2013 building on our first association in
2012 with a brilliant rosta of musicians, singers, spoken word artists chosen for their excellence & ability
to respond to The Shimmy brief of interaction & awareness of the unique environment.
Thank you to the May Gardens Project for their input & of course Wandsworth
Arts Team
The Shimmy is an invitation to take a walk through diverse outdoor
spaces and have unusual arts encounters along the way. The essential
brand or aesthetic is for: surprising and quirky cross-arts performances
that are inclusive and informal in nature, low on infrastructure and
responsive to different sites.
