The Black Lodge At The Twin Peaks Weekender 23rd – 24th October 2010 Battersea Arts Centre Working in collaboration with sound-experience pioneers Lumin, Heritage Arts provided a nerve-wrecking combination of one-on-one performances, physical theatre and visual trickery at the Battersea Arts Centre’s Twin Peaks Weekender. David Lynch’s acclaimed series provided the setting for an interactive playground where nothing is quite the way your remember. During the 32-Hour screening, curious visitors could find their way to The Black Lodge, a place without temporal rules housing the lost spirits of Coop, Harry, and Laura, chaperoned by the Giant and the Man From Another Place. With live performances from Zan Lyons and Seaming, and DJs My Ex-Boyfriends Records, Crispin Dior and N>E>D, the Black Lodge provided an unsettling alternative to cherry pie and damn fine coffee. “Gentlemen, two days ago a young woman was found murdered by the same individual I believe responsible for the death of Laura Palmer. I have reason to believe that the killer is in this room. As a member of the Bureau, I spend most of my time seeking simple answers to difficult questions. In the pursuit of Laura’s killer, I have employed Bureau guidelines, deductive technique, Tibetan method, instinct, and luck. But now I find myself in need of something new, which, for lack of a better word, we shall call… magic.” Special Agent Dale Cooper David Lynch's Twin Peaks Credits Event Concept Lumin Sound Experiments and The Heritage Arts Company Devised and Performed by The Heritage Arts Company Photographs used with kind permission from Atherton-Chiellino Photography of the Arts Lumin Sound Experiments | The Battersea Arts...

Sky Atlantic HD Launch Performance & Interactivity Vauxhall | January 17 2010 To celebrate the launch of Sky Atlantic HD, the new UK home of HBO programming, the Heritage Arts Company, working with The Hospital Club of Covent Garden, provided a unique prohibition speakeasy experience for guests including Steve Buscemi, Stephen Graham & Terrence Winter. From shakedowns on arrival through to drinks with glamorous cocktail girls, a terifying police raid and the unveiling of a secret casino, the Heritage Arts team brought the Boardwalk Empire to life for one night only. Where were you on January 17th, 1920? 350 VIP guests were in the company of one slick & charismatic Chicago M.C. as he defied the authorities by publicly flaunting prohibition laws. Despite the presence of the temperance union and a raid by the armed officers of the Federal Police, the party continued into the night with drinks, dancing and a secret casino frequented by glamorous molls and shady gents. “Gentlemen of the Fourth Estate. Tragic though it is, I need hardly remind you that the passage of the 18th Amendment has given rise to a new breed of criminals. Vicious thugs, emboldened by the promise of an easy dollar. Last January, in the woods, only a few miles from where I speak to you today, a horrible massacre occurred. Five men, bootleggers all, were cut down in cold blood by a rival gang. The suspected ringleader of the killers was found dead days later, caught in a fisherman’s net in one of our piers...” Nucky Thompson Played by Steve Buscemi, HBO's Boardwalk Empire Creative Team Performance...
