A celebration of extraordinary performance and radical, socially conscious new work.

This week we announced our Spring 26 Season. The programme will see artists from all over the world come together on Lavender Hill this Spring.

The international programme for the next eight months includes four UK and World Premieres, two festivals and two building takeovers.  

We are exploring how we live alongside each other, focusing on desire, intimacy and connection in ambitious and provocative ways and playing with both form and sentiment.

Artists at all stages of their careers are represented, from centring young people with Homegrown Festival, to presenting world-renowned artists making work about experiences both deeply specific and yet universally connected.  

“This season brings together bold, radical work that engages with the world as it is: complex, political, playful and alive. The programme speaks directly to communities and voices that are often marginalized, creating a season that is energising, provocative and unafraid to take risks. It invites audiences to consider what connects us, what we desire, and how we nurture one another in the imagining of alternative worlds.” 

Pelin Başaran, Creative Director

“BAC has always been a place where artists are trusted to take risks — with ideas, form and the questions they’re asking of the world. This season reflects that spirit, from work originated and developed here in our building on Lavender Hill, to artists from across the world coming through our doors. That belief in creative freedom goes hand in hand with our commitment to widening access with Pay What You Can tickets, so that ambitious, exceptional art and performance can be experienced by as many people as possible.”
