The Art of Performance

Join us in March for a Thursday Late exploring William Nicholson’s connection to the theatre world.

Hear from Jane Pritchard, Curator of Dance, Theatre and Performance at the V&A, in a special talk about how William Nicholson’s creative imagination leapt from the canvas to the stage, and how his theatrical designs reflect the wider story of performance, art, and innovation in the period (tickets sold separately – BOOK HERE).
