New Diorama launch free rehearsal complex for independent artists in world first

The new space, NDT Broadgate, boasts 29 high quality rehearsal spaces, meeting rooms, design studios and communal areas, designed by artists. The building is fully staffed and equipped, and is available for free, providing independent artists and freelancers with space and resources. The project aims to support hundreds of new theatre productions and promote the renewal of London’s arts and culture industry post-pandemic. 

The team suggests that the space can act as a blueprint for future projects in other places around the country. This is emphasised by the project's partnership with the Culture & Commerce Taskforce, who are using NDT Broadgate as a testbed for how culture and commerce can work together for mutual benefit to accelerate London’s recovery. This taskforce is chaired by the Lord Mayor of the City of London, and is led by the City of London Corporation with Culture Mile.
