London Performance Studios' Spring Season Theatre & Performing Arts

A curated season of interdisciplinary performance and dynamic and expansive new works will be presented by London Performance Studios (LPS)

The Spring Season programme invites a spectrum of approaches to performance, featuring movement, music, durational work, readings, an orchestra, a film screening and song circleAs well as two world premieres, LPS also introduces a signature showcase for new work, the 'Salon', bringing together bold flares of new work by early career and more established artists, in active conversation with each other and the space

Salon (10 Apr) invites three performers to reconfigure LPS' flexible performance space through movement, narrative experiments and soundArtists presenting are James Jordan Johnson with 'Fish Bone in Thumb, Cabinet Closed', using gesture as healing in an economy that treats everything as replaceable; Samra Mayanja's absurdist musical meets sad-girl performance art 'DEAD DAD DEATH CULT'; and Zahra van Nguyen's boxing ritual 'Spitfire'

LPS X Ormside Projects (17 Apr), is a collaboratively curated event that gathers ensembles, performers and DJs across both spacesThe evening begins at LPS with readings from Alan Fielden's sleep-deprived '99 Plays'; alongside 'orchestra379', an ongoing group improvisation project presented by aloisius (life is beautiful); and 'friend city', an iteration of George Lynch's play set in a city where no one livesThe night continues at neighbouring venue Ormside Projects, with further performances and DJ sets

The final contribution of the season is the London premiere screening of 'Nephin Subs' (24 Apr), a surreal, filmic meditation on a wake and funeral on the West Coast of Ireland by Fionnuala Kennedy, followed by a music circle (26 Apr) with roots in bardic practice and traditional Irish music (broadcast on Montez Press Radio)

LPS was founded in 2021 as a democratised space to support underrepresented emerging artists and those developing their practice with access to rehearsal rooms, dramaturgy and training opportunitiesOriginally founded by visual artist and theatre practitioner Than Hussein Clark, LPS has become a crucial incubator for artists that apply a queer lens to traditional performance-making to develop radical workOne year after its first public performance, LPS' spring 2025 season spotlights creative risk-takers beyond its commissioned Associate Artists for the first time since opening its doors
