bite09 Sept–Dec Season Front Cover

Research Studios has created a family of graphic compositions for bite, the Barbican’s internationally renowned performance series for dance, theatre and music. The images had to reflect key themes such as the abstract, light and dark, movement, energy and elements coming together.

The family of compositions photographically play with lighting gels, a unifying and common element to all types of performance in the series, to create vibrant, abstract and evocative forms. The series will be rolled out over the next few seasons of bite. For more information on the newly announced September–December 09 series visit the Barbican bite website.

Blaze Branding

Research Studios has completed the branding for Blaze, the Barbican’s first summer festival and showcase for international music and performance acts.

The identity aims to capture the spirit and summer vibrance of the festival line up which will take over three stages in the east end of London and be home to a host of international dance traditions, world bands and, this year, will focus on Cuba and the Jazz legend Joe Boyd.

The identity has been applied by Research Studios to a diverse range or materials from brochures to bus sides.
