Over the last eight months, ten up-and-coming artists have created eight hour-long shows that play with the intersection between different artforms – comedians, theatre-makers, drag performers, puppeteers and more. This performance will showcase eight formally inventive, fun & punchy stories which will take you on a journey from Japanese myth to Apartheid South Africa, from Bollywood to Ladbroke Grove, from comedy & cabaret to shadow puppetry.
Our artists presenting work are: Alice Wordsworth & Joe Young, Diana Feng, Fatima Serghini, Genevieve Sabherwal, Kathryn Bond, Mikey Bligh-Smith, Shafeeq Shajahan & Vasilis Konstantinides, and Simi Roach. They have been guided through the Lab by lead facilitator Ben Target, with support from many guest artists and the Soho team.
If you want to check out thrilling new work by the next generation of talent’s most promising artists, or if you’re interested in applying for Makers’ Lab yourself, come to the Makers’ Lab showcase!
