The Deptford Ballroom

Calling all Fred and Gingers!
Linda Florence invites you to sashay South East, to discover her latest creation. The Deptford Ballroom is a shed on stilts: a private dance-floor. Wrapped in a new Florence design, this intimate shelter is transformed into a ballroom just for two. Enter, pull a cord and start up the band, then follow the instructions marked on the wooden parquet flooring, steps one, two, three. Soon you will be whirling in your own old-time movie, spun up in golden wallpaper. Above you a series of specially designed lampshades complete with authentic vintage ribbons and trimmings scavenged from nearby Deptford Market dangle daintily.
From the outside, on-lookers can see your feet, making some snappy moves and your dances shadows. Fred and Ginger doppelgangers welcomed warmly, for the less extravagant, a bijou-ballroom awaits you.
The Deptford Project Gaffs
With three other local artists, Florence was commissioned by Raw Nerve to reinterpret a gaff, a wooden shed on long legs, recently used as part of the London Festival of Architecture.
These provide shelter for visitors to the recently opened Deptford Project - a converted railway carriage café designed by Morag Myerscough and run by Rebecca Molina.
The Deptford Project Gaffs is curated by Raw Nerve and funded by City Growth.
Opening 18th September 2008
