No amount of practice can replicate the heart-pounding elation and hands-on experience of live performance.
Students from across the faculties of Music and Dance have countless opportunities to perform in a variety of formal and informal settings.

Throughout each year of study, students participate in a range of concerts, masterclasses, workshops and outreach activities as well as international festivals and a variety of innovative performance events.
Music Performance Opportunities
Trinity Laban dance students hone their performance skills in a wide variety of formal and informal performance settings.
Performances within the Faculty of Dance include work led, created and co-created by world leading choreographers and by students, on students’ own works, the Commissioned Works module or in the Repertory Project module, where students recreate dance works by major 20th and 21st century choreographers such as Protima Chatterjee, Wayne McGregor, Lea Anderson, Rudolf Laban, Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, Richard Alston and Steve Paxton.
All students have the opportunity to perform in the stunning 300 seat Laban Theatre – designed and purpose-built specifically for contemporary dance – in a 100 seat Studio Theatre and in the inspiring outdoor performance spaces. They also have the chance to create innovative site-specific and installation work for the spaces within and around the building.
The magnificent Blackheath Halls (Great Hall seating 600 and Recital Room seating 160) offers a further performance venue. Some students prefer to set their work in less conventional settings and dancers are frequently seen in the lightwell, lecture rooms, a splendid architectural folly of a ‘corridor to nowhere’ – almost anywhere a dancer can fit into is used.
There are also frequent opportunities for students to perform across London and beyond. Recent projects have taken place at the Southbank Centre, Whitechapel Gallery, Tate Modern, Royal Academy of Arts, film and opera festivals and in schools and colleges across the UK.
