A note on Curation
Here & Now is committed to presenting contemporary performance that boldly speaks to the contemporary moment and disrupts the status quo of what performance made in England looks like.
Here & Now aims to present a diverse programme of work by artists who are representative of a wide range of lived experiences.
Here & Now has a reputation amongst international programmers for creating an exciting, eclectic and diverse programme of works that forefront artists and practices often underrepresented in their own international contexts.
