THE SPACE
THE SPACE is a new on-demand digital arts service available free of charge via the internet, smartphones, tablets and connected TV, on Freeview HD and Freesat. It has been developed by the Arts Council in partnership with the BBC.
THE SPACE is helping transform the way people connect with and experience the arts, music and film and is creating opportunities for artists to innovate and experiment digitally.
It launched on 1 May for a trial period running until the end of October, coinciding with and complementing the wealth of arts activity in 2012, including the London 2012 Festival and wider Cultural Olympiad.

Tom Roden and Pete Shenton, aka New Art Club, bringing to life dance in all its glory from May - October in the East of England.
Come Dance with Me includes fun features, interviews, and performances.

Latitude 2012 and theatre performances by
Matthew Bourne and
Danza Contemporanea de Cuba.
New Art Club
New Art Club is Tom Roden and Pete Shenton. Tom and Pete started working together in 1995, formed the company in 2001 and have since produced a wealth of characteristically clever and funny dance shows. They have toured nationally and internationally and won many awards.
