Performance Platform is an Artist led project hosted by Open Ealing community Arts space in Ealing Broadway, West London.
Performance Platform is focused on delivering regular live performance Art events in London.
Although Performance Platform is focused on showcasing live Performance Art in London it is also a node in a national/international network of allies/collaborators and partners and a hub for peer to peer learning, research, networking and development.
We support new, experimental, and challenging Performance Art whilst winning wider audiences.
Our events are hosted in a welcoming, disabled accessible, safer space with gender neutral bathrooms.
Performance Platform is a diverse led organization, its directors and our team are LGBTQI, neuro – divergent, disabled and from mixed minority backgrounds and this lived experience informs our pragmatic grounded approach to addressing intersectional barriers to inclusion and participation.
