In the spring of 2011, The Yard built a theatre in a vacant warehouse in Hackney Wick.

In the summer of that year, they hosted a short season of theatre, dance and opera.

In 2012 they programmed another season of work entirely through an open submission process. They worked with over 300 artists - directors, solo artists, writers, designers, performance makers and other creatives - to stage 36 projects. Over 10,000 people came to see something at The Yard last year.

And they’re now looking to 2013.

They would like to open submissions for a festival of performance that is titled The Generation Game. It will run for nine weeks from the 29th April 2013 and each show will run from between one to five nights.

You can find guidelines for submissions here. Good luck!
