Tara Arts, the first Asian-led theatre company set up in the UK, is located in a converted Victorian terrace in Earlsfield in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Arts Team has upgraded the theatre building, increasing its capacity from 50 to 100 seats, creating new rehearsal space and making the venue fully accessible — for audiences, staff and artists.
Their new theatre features an adaptable earthern surface, as well as:
• Improved provision of front of house space for audiences.
• A remodelled performance space.
• A rehearsal room/studio for Tara and other companies.
• Improved and accessible administration space.
• A lift.
• New improved WCs including an accessible WC.
• A backstage multipurpose dressing room and storage.
• A courtyard garden opening off the foyer.
The interior presents an aesthetic that is entirely ‘Tara’. The Artistic Team have taken the external tree motif and applied it to the interior with lively paintwork, and as the building starts to be used, we are looking forward to the building adapting and growing with the Company.
