The award-winning Laban Building was made for dance and through the Laban Theatre programme, large scale performance meets intimate choreographic exploration.

Laban Theatre’s 300 seat Bonnie Bird auditorium, intimate 100 seat Studio Theatre and Performance Laboratory at Laurie Grove Studios host much of the performance programme, but some artists prefer to show their work in our less conventional settings.

Dances and installations are frequently seen in spaces in, on and outside of Laban Building; the inspiring outdoor amphitheatre, the lightwell, lecture rooms and our splendid architectural folly of a ‘corridor to nowhere’.

Diverse, inspiring and thought provoking dance performance is a crucial part of our programme.
