ABOUT BLACK & WHITE CRAFT
Independent live event management studio, site-specific promenade theatre producer, and socially engaged cultural curator operating across the United Kingdom, Nigeria, and Zambia under Artistic Director Opeyemi Farimoyo.
AUTHENTIC COMMERCE.
UNCOMPROMISING STAGECRAFT.
Founded by international Live Event Producer and Creative Director Opeyemi Oluwaseun Farimoyo, Black & White Craft operates at the intersection of rigorous live production engineering and soul-centric theatrical curation.
Combining postgraduate Financial Management training from Sheffield Hallam University with deep community stagecraft roots across the UK, Nigeria, and Zambia, our studio bridges mathematical fiscal discipline with raw, socially engaged live performance art.
SITE-SPECIFIC & PROMENADE THEATRE
Directing and engineering immersive performance productions in unconventional spaces—such as heritage botanical glasshouses, historic urban grounds, and public parks—where the physical environment becomes an integral part of the dramatic narrative.
SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART (SEA) CURATION
Designing participatory cultural platforms, festivals, and testimonial theatre that foster community collaboration, empower marginalized voices, and bridge African cultural traditions with contemporary UK audiences.
SHIFTING THEATRE INTO LIVING, PHYSICAL ECOSYSTEMS
Traditional live entertainment frequently confines performance art to detached proscenium auditoriums, alienating communities and flattening complex cultural narratives. Black & White Craft was established to invert this dynamic.
By staging experimental, site-specific productions inside botanical glasshouses, historic heritage landscapes, and living commercial marketplaces, we transform audience members into active participants. We believe genuine cultural memory is reclaimed when art inhabits the exact soil, architecture, and public squares where communities live and work.
"We do not treat communities as spectators or case studies. We construct well-engineered platforms where they hold complete narrative authorship."— Opeyemi Farimoyo, Artistic Director
Custom theatrical staging designed around existing natural topography, heritage flora, and public urban architecture.
Ethical co-design frameworks pairing professional ensembles with local community members to preserve narrative sovereignty.
Managing multi-jurisdiction artist logistics, equipment customs, and cross-cultural synthesis across the UK, West Africa, and East Africa.
Postgraduate Financial Management rigor ensuring transparent multi-currency budgeting, FX hedging, and zero cost overruns.
