a performance art gathering,
next: sunday 20 september
ALMANAC is a recurring performance art gathering in London, organised by Future Ritual.
The series is intended as a way of providing a social space for London’s performance art community to meet (and expand!) and as a regular platform for performance artists to make work.
> tickets - £14//£10//£6
Following three evocative events at Asylum Chapel in 2025, we are reframing ALMANAC as a space for experimentation - by showing work here, artists are asking questions and seeking insight. In this, we acknowledge the process driven nature of performance art and welcome performances which risk it all, mutating and misbheaving. We hope ALMANAC can be a useful space for artists and audiences, especially in these lean times.
Our events this year take place in STUDIO: Future Ritual, a light-filled former industrial space. Each event will feature performances from three artists, programmed through invitation and open call.
> Sunday 20 September, 3-6pm
> Sunday 17 May, 3-6pm
The performances will take place at Studio: Future Ritual, Bussey Building (yellow stairs), Rye Lane, Peckham, SE15 3SN
Peckham Rye station (served by the Windrush line and National Rail) is a 5 minute walk away.

featuring Vridhhi Chaudhry, Joseph Morgan Schofield and Claudia PalazzoVridhhi Chaudhry
Vridhhi Chaudhry lives and works between Delhi and Toronto. Working across performance, painting, and mask-making, their practice uses the body as witness, participant, and medium. The work moves through ritual and mark-making. Memory, inherited trauma, and unseen labor are not represented but processed. Physically. Slowly. Through repetition, material, and the logic of dreams. Performance is a threshold. A space of constant becoming. Guided by material, memory, making, and the curiosity of the inner child, the work invites audiences into acts of empathy, care, and shared reflection. Current research explores cellular and epigenetic memory, how trauma and tenderness move through bodies across generations, and how ritual can become a practice of fostering empathy rather than enforcing inheritance.Joseph Morgan Schofield
JMS is a curator, artist and creative producer. At the heart of these entangled practices is an understanding of performance art as a potent, contemporary modality of ritual. He / they draws on queer, ecological and esoteric thought to engage with the lost, the unseen, the forgotten. He understands his performances and films as thin places, as ceremony, as a way of practicing sensitivity, of reorienting attention and touching the more raw edges of experience.
As a curator, Joseph activates spaces for collective encounter through Future Ritual, cultivating intergenerational exchange and artist-led research, experimentation and creation.
Joseph lives in London (UK) but most often works in dialogue with the wet, windy Pennine moors and Cumbrian fells of the English North West.

Claudia Palazzo
Claudia Palazzo is a London born artist working at the intersections and contradictions of dance, performance art, installation and sound. It is often poetic, unmanageable, meditative and violent in its structure. Influenced by roots in psychophysical training , inner-city structures and nightclub culture, allowing space for dissociation and reassociation as a way of processing, contextualising and navigating things which may feel enormous. Her work often exists in a place of tension using the interplay between inherent strength and the impact of damage. Claudia is often preoccupied with how we embody things we don’t talk about and how dancing can exist as mystery, affirmation and transformation. She is interested in subliminal and feral communication with architecture and an audience and wonders how we can challenge ableist ideals of mobility without succumbing to soft control that is disguised as care. Concerned with alternatives to individualism whilst also trying to decensor her autobiography. Claudia is currently looking for things to represent her dancing body in her absence and cant stop thinking about the millions of dead olive trees around her nonnas house.
Claudia has also had a 17+ year career as a performer in the work of many artists and choreographers, Is currently artist in residence at LADA, a member of drag troupe The LipSinkers, co-facilitates the Duckie Homosexualist School and regularly teaches, lectures and mentors.
