Line-ups, updates and news for SPILL Festival 2011.

Spill Festival

When: 18-24 April 2011
Where: Barbican, National Theatre
How much: events individually priced


Launched in 2007, SPILL Festival is an annual festival of performance-related art and theatre that takes place every year at various venues across London. The focus throughout the week-long festival is very much on new and experimental artists and organisations, and events are generally ties together by a loosely overarching theme.

Produced by Pacitti Company with Robert Pacitti as Artistic Director, SPILL Festival sees performers descend upon the capital from all over the world. The venues involved change each year, but past performances have taken place at the Barbican, Southbank Centre, National Theatre, Soho Theatre, Shunt Vaults, Shoreditch Town Hall and Toynbee Studios.

For 2011, events are primarily taking place at the Barbican with the odd foray into the National Theatre Studio. The theme this year is 'infected', so expect all manner of diseases, contagions, and illnesses to seep through the programme. Interventions, installations, a Thinker in Residence, talks, salons, films, music, parties, and feasts keep the festering fun.
