Did you know we are a charity? Since its opening in 1866, Shoreditch Town Hall has witnessed everything from Victorian reform and Sylvia Pankhurst’s activism, to vibrant boxing matches, and the electrifying Whirl-Y-Gigs in the 90s. Each era has left its mark on this iconic building to make it the creative venue it is today, and now it’s our turn to care for its future.

Coney return to Shoreditch Town Hall with a playful and interactive workshop.
The Island is a playful experience and performance workshop built through creative exchange between young people just under 10,000 miles apart; in Tower Hamlets in London, and in Port Villa in the pacific island nation, Vanuatu.
With play, crafts and cups of tea we're invited to add our own layer to The Island they’ve collectively imagined and entrusted to us. What role will we play in the future of The Island?
The Island has been developed with Coney as part of Codename: Seedling, an Erasmus+ project aimed at developing youth arts approaches to climate justice.
Creative Team: Pavlos Christodoulou, Mel Frances, Germma Orleans-Thompson and Toby Peach with research by Astrid Breel, creative outside eye from Benjamin Efrati and Bob Lundgreen and producing support from Eliza Cass.

Coney is an arts and social change charity on a mission to spark change through the power of play. For over fifteen years, we’ve co-created interactive theatre and experiences, from bespoke games for individuals to city-wide adventures for thousands. Every Coney experience aspires to make the world a little lovelier – whether by fostering self-care and resilience, or inspiring community action that leads to meaningful change. Our distinctive, playful practice happens in schools, heritage sites, workplaces, theatres, streets, and online.
We’re BAFTA-winning and listed in The Stage 100.
