A Season of No Shows - a partnership with NDT

New Diorama announces that it will present no public programme for the rest of the year. The London studio – Currently The Stage Fringe Theatre of the Year 2022 and fresh from the acclaimed NDT Broadgate project and the hit Royal Court transfer For Black Boys… – will instead offer a moment of full artistic reset, aiming to rejuvenate theatre’s status quo.

‘Intervention 01’ will call together the UK’s most exciting independent theatre companies to develop a bold slate of ambitious, risk-taking work. Aiming to break the current norm in short-term programming and artist development cycles, NDT has raised over £250,000 for artistic dreamtime, creative and production support, and funded R&D projects for 15 companies to take part – relieved of pressure for programming or immediate outcomes.

'Intervention 01' is supported by two creative partners, Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival - representing a new collaboration centred on artist support and opportunities to access its new Creative Space, Studio Theatre and mid-scale Corn Exchange - and NDT's neighbouring creative hub Old Diorama Arts Centre, building on the two organisations' close working relationship. Funding partners include Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grants, Jerwood Arts and the Harold Hyam Wingate Foundation.
