For 2024, Voila! will expand into a multi-venue umbrella fringe festival in London!
Below are the venues taking part; you can find more details in the Eventotron Venue Finder once you have submitted your application with information about your show.
APPLECART ARTS
Applecart is an arts charity based in East Ham, Newham. We provide space, mentorship, and platforms for emerging visual and performing arts practitioners from diverse backgrounds, promoting professional pathways into the creative industries.
BARONS COURT
With global new writing and works in translation featuring regularly in our programming, Barons Court Theatre is one of the go-to homes for international theatre work visiting this sunny island. We’re looking for theatre that’s bold, writers that are hot in their home countries, and plays that have the potential to be the next big thing. We welcome plays staged in their original language as well as in translation. We champion migrant-led theatre and our programming is also open to diaspora artists based in the UK.
CAMDEN PEOPLE’S THEATRE
With global new writing and works in translation featuring regularly in our CPT supports emerging artists to make inventive theatre – particularly about issues that matter to people right now. We prioritise bold, unexpected, unusual theatre and performance, often from artists at the start of their career, and which addresses the issues that matter to people now. We like work that is radical, entertaining – and that brings new audiences to theatre. We seek out work that speaks to our status as a ‘people’s theatre’ and that blurs boundaries between professional and community, art and engagement.
THE COCKPIT
The Cockpit, the home of Voila! since the festival’s beginning in 2012, is a “theatre of ideas and disruptive panache.” Dysfunctional times need a fully-functioning theatre with things to say. A theatre for London of useful, progressive ideas for the future.
PLAYGROUND THEATRE
The Playground Theatre is envisioned as a dynamic space where artists from diverse backgrounds converge to foster collaboration and craft innovative, daring, and imaginative works within a secure environment. Our mission is to champion the incubation and collaboration of new works on both the international and national stages, cultivating a fertile ground for creativity.
THE QUESTORS THEATRE – STUDIO
A black box studio theatre in Ealing Broadway with adaptable seating configurations giving an audience capacity of 80-100.
THE SPACE THEATRE
We want to work with vibrant, passionate and talented theatre makers. We want to help them stage successful shows, develop as artists and connect with their audience. As an organisation, we are courageous, creative and inclusive and we look for the same qualities in the artists we work with.
THEATRE DELI
Theatre Deli has a focus on supporting emerging artists, companies and communities whose identities, backgrounds, disciplines or work are underrepresented in theatre. We want to programme work that inspires new perspectives and demands action. We want you to experiment, explore, participate and take creative risks in an environment where it’s as joyful and meaningful to fail as it is to succeed.
UPSTAIRS AT THE GATEHOUSE
Upstairs at the Gatehouse is an award-winning Off West End theatre in Highgate Village, North London. We presented a varied programme of musicals, plays, and opera, with a focus on supporting early-career artists, innovative revivals, and new writing.
