‘Original Cultures – The Showcase’ at Corbet Place, March 5 2010
Original Cultures London 2010 will close with ‘The Showcase’.

The performance will feature brand new music and visual works created by the artists in the 3 days prior to the showcase. This will be a totally unique performance, not to be missed. This last sentence may sound like a boast but we mean it – just check the footage from our Bologna show if you don’t believe us (vids on the right hand side). Expect an audio and visual experience like never before!
‘Original Cultures – The Showcase’ will be held at Corbet Place, part of the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, E1. There’s lots of comfy seats, a nice garden for the smokers and a lovely drinks selection at the bar. Doors open at 6pm. Timetable and links below.
Don’t forget that the day before, on March 4th, we will be in the square where both Corbet Place and the Stolen Space gallery are located (at the back of the Truman Brewery) for the closing party of our exhibition featuring all our artists, live painting, music and more. So if you can’t make the Friday than make time for the Thursday, and if you can make both even better!
