About
Responding to circumstances, our 21st Emergency offers a sneak preview of new live work in a brand new home. With about ten performance works dotted throughout Contact’s building, you’ll be guided on a socially-distanced one-way walkthrough. Able to pause en route, we estimate a 60 to 75-minute total journey time for each audience member. Full programme notes are here.
