Theatre Delicatessen
Theatre Deli (formerly Theatre Delicatessen) is a meanwhile-use arts organisation that transforms empty spaces into creative venues. Theatre Deli’s work focuses on empty spaces in city centres, and has included more than 17 venues across five London boroughs and Sheffield. As well as providing affordable space, Theatre Deli offers artist development opportunities in the form of commissions, residencies, festivals, workshops, events and work-in-progress performance programmes.
Theatre Deli is the trading name of charity CurvingRoad. Its annual report states: “We believe in the social, psychological, political and economic benefits of making and experiencing art and culture. Our mission is to empower and enable people to make art for themselves, for others and for their communities. To deliver this, we believe in doing things differently … changing spaces … changing perceptions … changing careers.”
Theatre Deli currently operates in the City of London and Tower Hamlets, with its main venue at 107 Leadenhall Street.
