Started back in 2007 by artist and fest director Robert Pacitti, this year’s line-up includes stunning live productions, participatory shows, installations and the odd discussion and film, too.

Our pick of the bunch is Splat! (April 3 & 4), where artist The Famous Lauren Barri Holstein (above) unleashes her new show, in which she dances round the stage with a deer head on her bonce and roller skates strapped to her feet. 

April 3-14. Times vary 
Various prices and venues across London
