Acrobats in action

MUST DO: International Mime Festival, Platform Theatre

Four of the UK's hottest acrobats comes to the multi-use space in Central Saint Martins this weekend

P

latform theatre, the amorphous four space venue inside Central St Martins, has boasted an impressive programme of works from students, alumni and external companies alike since it opened back in 2011.

Known for facilitating experimental performances, Platform has forged a close relationship with the London International Mime Festival over the past few years.

This weekend (from now until 12th) the venue will host the launch of LIMF, as experimental acrobatic circus company, Barely Methodical Troupe take to the stage this month.

Four of the UK’s hottest acrobats will push against the edges of reality, stretching, challenging and testing the limits of collective physical endeavour.
