Curtis Holder | The Makers: Portraits from Backstage Exhibition

National Theatre’s Artist in residence Curtis Holder talks to curator Kate Bryan about his new exhibition ‘Makers: Portraits from Backstage’. Find out more about the artist, the curator and the exhibition here: https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/yo... -- A love letter to the dynamic creative forces behind the scenes at the National Theatre. Created by our first artist in residence, Curtis Holder, these intimate, multi-layered pencil portraits capture the expertise of the theatre-makers who work here. Holder has explored every corner of the vast backstage areas selecting people to be part of the exhibition. His subjects range from wigs, hair and make-up assistants, to prop and puppet makers, deputy ladies cutter, costume workroom trainees, technicians, and stage door supervisors. Normally it’s their work that captivates audiences, but this exhibition puts them centre-stage and celebrates the people behind the craft. -- Subscribe on YouTube:    / nationaltheatre   Sign up to our monthly newsletter: National Theatre TikTok:   / nationaltheatre   National Theatre Twitter:   / nationaltheatre   National Theatre Facebook:   / nationaltheatre   National Theatre Instagram:   / nationaltheatre   National Theatre Live Twitter:   / ntlive   National Theatre Live Facebook:   / ntlive   -- At the National Theatre in London, we make world-class theatre that is entertaining, challenging and inspiring.
