Details

Artsadmin is an organisation whose vision is "to be an arts lab for the 21st Century for the creation of performance, site-specific and interdisciplinary work, where the innovative, experimental and unusual are nurtured". Formerly the Curtain Theatre, the main space at the Toynbee Studios is a 1930s art deco auditorium, retaining many original features. The building complex also contains five other studio spaces, providing room for workshops, rehearsals, meetings, conferencing and public performances.
