TAP OUT FESTIVAL (2026)

wEEK 1: Thurs 22nd, Fri 23rd

WEEK 2: Thurs 28th & Fri 29th

A festival of original performance works by Goldsmiths UoL, BA Drama and Theatre Arts finalists 

TAP OUT 26 is a constellation of contemporary performance making, marking the culmination of three years of thinking and making within Goldsmiths, Theatre and Performance. It marks the final steps in our UG journey, and at the same time our first steps as we begin to map out our paths beyond Goldsmiths. 

This year's Festival responds to and explores a wide variety of themes and performance styles, ranging from installation performances and immersive sound pieces to short experimental films and contemporary cabaret performance. These projects have been developed over months of practice research, risk taking and experimentation, the work reflects both our individuality as artists but also our collective drive to expand and explore the boundaries of contemporary performance making.
