Invitation to Play by Samantha Thompson

Samantha Thompson's participatory performance invites adults to play. Custom-designed playsuits bring bold shape and colour into the space, encouraging audiences to twirl, move and interact, whether at an exhibition opening, dance party or public activation.

Accessibility is built into the design. Up to 20 modular, loose-fitting pieces can be layered over clothing, with options ranging from simple additions to full looks, including headpieces.

Audiences can engage at their own comfort level. The experience is gently facilitated by performers, offering simple prompts that help people step in and let go of self-consciousness.

Invitation to Play activates the whole event, creating a shared atmosphere while generating vibrant, organic documentation.
