BBC World Service - In the Studio, Es Devlin: Artist and stage designer

A British artist who creates shows for the Olympics, Adele, the Weeknd and Louis Vuitton

The artist who creates ‘stage sculptures’ and shows for the Olympics and the likes of Beyoncé, Adele, the Weeknd, Bizet’s Carmen, Kanye West and Louis Vuitton.

Es Devlin is an artist and one of the world’s most influential stage designers - conceiving what she calls stage ‘sculptures’ with the likes of Louis Vuitton, Beyoncé, Adele, Kanye West, the Weeknd and U2, as well as designing the opening ceremony of the Rio 2016 Olympics and the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics.
 
Her striking creations are equally well-known in the world of opera and theatre, from Bizet’s Carmen to Pinter’s Betrayal, all of which she does alongside her own solo work as an artist.
 
From her studio in London, Es Devlin talks to Ella-mai Robey about her work and creative process.
