Sadler’s Wells East is set to be officially opened later in what has been described as a “gamechanger” for dance in London.
Located in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, the new venue has a 550-seat auditorium, six state-of-the-art dance studios and a free public performance space.
Twenty productions showcasing work from locally-based artists as well as dance companies from across the United Kingdom and wider world are set to take place in its opening season.
The venue joins BBC Music Studios, V&A East, UAL’s London College of Fashion and UCL East as part of the new educational district, East Bank, which was established following the London 2012 Olympic Games.
