Teatro de la Laboral

The British Council and El Teatro de la Laboral present
S.P.A.C.E. UK, a showcase programmed to explore the
possibilities of performance spaces. S.P.A.C.E. UK takes full advantage of the multiple spaces which make La Laboral a unique place to programme site specific projects and generate work linked to the building and its history.

The idea behind the showcase is to create links and promote networks amongst artists from different disciplines and countries. S.P.A.C.E. UK is a showcase of the latest generation of contemporary British artists working in the area of performance. These are artists whose work is meant to be seen in a variety of spaces and not just on a conventional stage.

The pieces on show to audiences and programmers over two intense days at Teatro La Laboral cover a range of forms of expression. Live art, action art, intervention and manoeuvres will be presented by artists of the calibre of Kira O’Reilly, Rajni Shah, Peter Reder and Marc Rees, amongst others.

In addition, S.P.A.C.E. UK will be a place for
professionals to meet and debate the uses of public
spaces for the performing arts, as well as serving as a
catalyst and meeting point for local artists.
