Sadler's Wells East opens on February 6 and is one for dance fans to get excited about: the high-tech, 550-cap dance theatre, with fully retractable seats, will stage more experimental contemporary works than the OG Sadler's in Islington; their season kicks off with Vicki Igbokwe-Ozoagu's blowout, which will transform the new space into a nightclub and use young dancers from east London in the performance.
Then, over in Walthamstow, the legends at Soho Theatre will take over the former EMD Cinema. They haven't revealed too much yet, but its slated to open in 'early 2025', with a programme that's likely to be stacked with cabaret, comedy and plays.
Both venues look pretty cool, and because they both do something unique it's great they're doubling in capacity. As for Sadler's, London's capacity for interesting international dance has effectively doubled, which is pretty remarkable.
