A Fitting Space

"Unique and gobsmacking performance"

"Brilliant piece, immersive performance was on point"

"I like that performance too much"

"Original. Really enjoyed the experience. Love the App"

Choreographed by Sophie Arstall and the dancers from Hoxton Hall’s Youth Dance Company SoH!, A Fitting Space was created in conjunction with HB&Co’s pioneering work for Hoxton Hall A Collection of Small Choices. SoH! devised A Fitting Space using HB&Co’s TlotT performance App. TlotT was a critical tool during the process of making and performing the work, as well as facilitating audience experience.

The original project was a great success, leading to it’s re-staging for the venue’s autumn season. The work creates an exciting bridge between Hoxton Hall’s youth programme, and professional programme.
