We're really sorry to see our good friends at the Vault Festival take the painful and necessary decision to cancel this year’s festival due to the impossibility of proceeding safely - we know there's a lot of work going on behind the scenes to help all the artists, performers and companies involved.

In the meantime, if any one wants to start an informal chat about the possibility of using Stanley Arts as a potential platform for their work then don’t hesitate to contact us. We have a particular focus on q***r work and performances made by global majority artists, and we also have plenty of track record with family shows, stand-up comedy, cabaret and other late night events - but we're happy to hear from all artists!

Following our q***r artist call out, we're looking for female, non-binary and gender fluid artists with projects in mind for 2022✨

If you're a female-led theatre company, a gender fluid music artist, or a non-binary dancer - we'd love to hear from you. We're open to all art forms and projects, but especially if you have a ready-made event in mind. Contact us today at [email protected]!💘

REPOST FROM EM Williams

*****

You: I really want to support new work by artists not of the cis white male variety as most things are, but I always find out about these things too late or on the day and also, I'm just not sure whether I'll like it? Like, I'm not being funny but sometimes they're very expensive and I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, but I really wanna be connected to new exciting work, maybe with a musical element and something that will make me laugh...

EM: Go and see this. No, seriously. These are two of the most talented people I had the privilege of becoming friends with, and it's the first time they've been given a space to make work by and for themselves. You wanna support q***r & trans artists making work and changing up the industry? Here's your chance. Get your ticket ❤

20-24th October- 9pm evening show and matinees too so you can go before/after sh*t. What's not to love?

"Under the thunder of London’s trains, D and Cane quietly fume, as they stretch their strings and get ready - to play their biggest gig yet.

Come for the distorted chords, ancient myth and modern gender.

Stay for the story-yelling and all-night bender.

This show will not be written in poetry.

KICK IT!"

The long-running live fiction event Liars' League has its first 2021 event tomorrow, Tue 18th May, at a central London pub venue, and due to a last minute schedule clash we need a male actor, playing age 18-30, with a native or very good Belfast/London Irish accent (some Belfast and London required for other characters), to read - NOT learn - a great short story.
