Freshly Scratched

Join us and be the first to discover the future of theatre.

At Battersea Arts Centre, we invite artists to test out new ideas for shows. Audiences like you are invited to experience these ideas and give feedback. We call this SCRATCH.

Freshly Scratched features artists and companies trying out new ideas in front of a supportive audience. Each evening features 6-8 performances by different artists. Each is at an early stage of development and will last 10 minutes or less.

After the performances, everyone is invited to grab a bite to eat, have a drink in the Scratch Bar and discuss the evening’s events. We also encourage audience members to write feedback on each of the Scratch performances.

Wednesday 6 July will be a Freshly Scratched night in collaboration with The Deaf and Hearing Ensemble, all artists will be D/deaf or Hard of Hearing and the night will be BSL interpreted with an opportunity for audiences to feedback in BSL or written format.
