The article discusses the opening of Sadler's Wells East in Stratford, which represents a significant transformation in the area over the past 15 years. Choreographer Vicki Igbokwe-Ozoagure was commissioned to create 'Our Mighty Groove', a performance celebrating club culture. The venue features a unique high-tech auditorium where seating can be retracted to create an engaging, participatory experience for the audience, blurring the lines between performer and spectator. The emergence of this theatre marks an exciting chapter in London's cultural landscape post-Olympics.
Our Mighty Groove is a playful, pulsing homage to club culture, inspired by a time where I was baptized metaphorically in a New York underground house club.
The high-tech auditorium at Sadler's East has a secret: almost all of its seating is fully retractable, encouraging audience participation in a new immersive experience.
