THE TEMPEST
V&A acquisitioned ‘The Tempest’ designs and interactive installation for their permanent
collections.2008
"Designer Roma Patel's embellishments are also strategic, with some playing areas
mast-high, others cavernous, others again very wet; her attention to detail, as in the
mitred edges of banners for the masque or in the midsummer sweetness of the
croquet-lawn constantly rewarding the captivated audience."

One of the Lead Artist- Six Acts project - SCENOFEST Educational project of OISTAT and the Prague Quadrennial, Prague, Czech Republic. An ensemble of students from across the globe led by six leading artists to create six site-specific acts – installations and performances in buildings around Prague. Each of the ‘Acts’ will respond to the rich history of these sites in the heart of city – the ordinary and the extra-ordinary daily life - to uncover stories that have become lost even to the local inhabitants of Prague.
Five international student teams, each led by an artist of international repute from the performing and visual arts - Uwe Köhler (Germany), Louise Ann Wilson (UK), Rolf Abherhalden (Columbia), Roma Patel (UK), and Tomas Zizka (Czech Republic), will create a series of performances and installations over consecutive days during the Prague Quadrennial in June, 2011. The Sixth Act will consist of a “way-finding” workshop led by international artistic leader Fiona Watt (UK) that will help audiences to find the Acts and the Acts to find their audiences.
