 and contemporary performance.

Updated 28 November 2024

Social Experiment is a new gathering at Contact for anyone interested in Live Art and contemporary performance to meet, chat, and try ideas out…

A free and informal, semi-regular evening event — the first is on Thursday 6 February 2025 and future dates are 22 May, 17 July, 27 November.
