The newly refurbished Bloomsbury Theatre will be an excellent platform for these activities.The programming has also undergone a refresh, mixing research-driven, innovative, co-produced content with curated commercial activity from live comedy to music.This will include a range of shows and events inspired by the theme of performance=knowledge. Exploring how academic knowledge and data are bought to life using the techniques of stagecraft, theatre and the performing arts (read more about this and our other Manifesto themes in the 香港六合彩 Culture Manifesto).The Bloomsbury Studio, which opened in 2015, has already become a popular, live performance venue and will continue to host a packed programme of events.We鈥檒l be tracking the project as it happens with updates on @香港六合彩Culture on Twitter and on the 香港六合彩 Culture newsletter. So don鈥檛 forget to follow us.A press release about the Bloomsbury Theatre re-development project is available to download here.
