The fourth annual Steakhouse Live festival entitled LONGER WETTER FASTER BETTER took place across three East London locations (Artsadmin, Rich Mix and The Yard Theatre) from the 14 – 16 of October 2016.
The festival was a chance for us to support and engage with the work of artists that we admire and that we believe should have a platform in London. As always, we deliberately embraced a diverse range of artistic practices with the work throughout the festival cutting across performance art, theatre, visual art, cabaret, sculpture, dance, drag, club, participatory performance and more.
We were honoured to have the opportunity to present the work of these remarkable artists and we were equally thrilled that so many people joined us for the ride!
