Our partnerships with arts and cultural organisations across the four Olympic boroughs – including the East Bank partners - are designed with a firm intention to be equitable, meaningful and sustainable. By creating and growing programmes that capitalise on our individual strengths and expertise, we act as a catalyst for new and innovative projects that benefit our collective communities.  

Our programmes align with the LCF Cultural Programme and with East Bank public programming. They are underpinned by values of accessibility and inclusion, supporting early and mid-career creative practitioners from a diverse range of backgrounds and abilities.

Creative Lab x Alexander Whitley

In April 2024, Creative Lab will host a collaboration between East London Dance, Alexander Whitley and London College of Fashion’s Costume Design for Performance programme, Digital Learning Lab and Fashion Innovation Agency. A two-day immersive event is in development for practitioners working at and interested in the intersection between performance, design and technology. Applications for this event will be open in the New Year.

The primary Creative Lab programme, hosted by London College of Fashion in partnership with East London Dance will return in Summer 2025. This is a two-week intensive, comprising workshops and hands-on making and testing across a trifecta of costume design, choreography and technology.
