What's on in London: Spring season at Shoreditch Town Hall

Shoreditch Town Hall has announced its Spring programme - featuring new work as well as returning favourites.

The programme reflects the venue’s commitment to championing unconventional work, community, and facilitating conversations.

The line-up includes a new residency from technology pioneers DARKFIELD as well as the Scotsman’s Fringe First Award-winning A Little Inquest Into What We Are All Doing Here.

The season also includes a variety of panel discussions and networking opportunities for artists and the arts industry, creative workshops and participatory events for locals, and performances celebrating the queer community.

A Little Inquest Into What We Are All Doing Here (11th-15th March)

A powerful production challenging the complexities of censorship and freedom of expression. Lead artist, performer, and producer Josie Dale-Jones will be returning to East London with her critically acclaimed show - examining the delicate balance between artistic freedom and societal limitations.

DARKFIELD (1st– 12th April)

Offering their first live experiences outside of a shipping container, DARKFIELD’s signature sensory effects and 360-degree binaural sound situates each participant at the centre of intense, evolving narratives.

The Queer Noise Collective (13th March)

Platforming difference and creativity, this evening of queer celebration will uplift audiences with new material from clown Paula Lenoir, poet Ray and musician Tall Child. There will also be a pre-show social where attendees can meet others from the LGBTQIA+ community.

Devoted and Disgruntled (12th-14th April)

These gatherings will use Open Space Technology to facilitate events where everyone’s voice can be heard, and no topic is censored.

STAMP (Supporting Theatre Artists and Makers of Performance) Connects (21st May)

Breaking down barriers between independent artists and the organisations who exist to support them. An afternoon of panel talks, open conversations and networking that is an opportunity for artists and companies to build relationships.

Introduction to Bollywood Dance (8th March)

A workshop led by Devashree Pande. Participants can immerse themselves in their very own Bollywood musical, learning movement to the very best-known songs.

"This Spring, we’re excited to present our signature mix of progressive theatre, music-hall style cabaret entertainment and innovative immersive experiences at Shoreditch Town Hall..." explains Ellie Browning, Head of Cultural Programme. "As a women-led venue we’re especially proud to celebrate International Women's Day with activities led by our very own team, including a guided tour sharing extraordinary stories of women from our 150-year history."

"Whether local audiences are joining a beginners Bollywood Dance class, trying out our monthly Tea Dance for the first time, or travelling from further afield to experience internationally acclaimed work, we remain committed to offer culture at the heart of East London life and to being a hub of pioneering contemporary performance."
