NOW! is an experimental live music and performance art night curated by Gabriella Sonabend and Davo McConville. Brought together by their passion for presenting brilliant underrepresented work, NOW! draws from the curators’ collective work across the fields of film, music, art and fashion. Presenting grassroots emerging artists, established names, veteran makers returning to the stage after decades of retreat, experimental artists who genre fails to classify, mystics who occupy a mid-point between the stage and the audience, dancers, movement makers, poets, prophets and purveyors of curiosities; this night is as frenetic and searching as its location - which is continuously on the move. Taking over a different venue for each episode, NOW! moves around London seeking to build a citywide community for those in search of something that doesn’t fit a conventional mould.
