ASSEMBLE Festival Launch
Streatham Space Project is excited to announce the launch of our Spring festival, ASSEMBLE Festival 2024!
We invite you to ASSEMBLE.
VERB 1. (of people) gather together in one place for a common purpose
Join us for our 2-week theatre and performance festival exploring the innate need for humans to gather, in rage and optimism, when facing the complexities and uncertainties of our world. Our programme of work includes both full-length shows as well as short, work-in-progress performances that explore migration, neurodiversity, taboo love stories, climate change, the cost-of-living crisis, decolonisation, grief and so much more.
Assemble in anger, assemble in hope. Assemble because you know that, ultimately, our collective capacity for change is all we have.
Date: 29th April - 11h May 2024
A message from our Creative Director, Natasha Brown
“I programmed ASSEMBLE Festival to bring artists and audiences together to collectively explore crucial issues of our time. I want people to know that when you’re reading the news in despair, you are not alone. But, also, when you’re feeling like more can and should be done, you are not alone. This festival is an opportunity to gather, to work things out together.
The festival programme consists of theatre and performances that examine topics ranging from the loneliness epidemic in the U.K. to colonialism across the world. This festival shows that the personal is political and the micro is macro in exciting, challenging and inspiring ways. There will be post-show discussions providing a space for conversation and community. Our wish is for festival participants to leave feeling energised and, hopefully, ready to change the world.”
- Natasha Brown, SSP Creative Director
