THE Space arts and community centre has announced its programme of events from January until May 2015, beginning with a festival featuring solo performances by a range of theatre professionals. The One Festival returns for its third outing at the Isle of Dogs venue from January 7 to 18 and showcases the work of 17 individual acts, including a pop-up book storytelling, a Sid Vicious fanatic, a zombie puppet show and a musical for Sigmund Freud. Performances will be separated into programmes, with each one running on three days during the two-week residency. Centre director Adam Hemming said: “It’s hard to find opportunities to showcase shorter pieces of work and a lot of great material is underperformed as a result. The One Festival combats this by bringing people together to create four programmes of solo performance.” The Space is at 269 West Ferry Road, E14. Tickets for the shows cost £12/£10 and can be booked at www.space.org.uk 12 – 18 JANUARY 2015 NEWS FROM TOWER HAMLETS COUNCIL AND YOUR COMMUNITY GET A LIFE 5
