Riverside Studios is a multi-arts centre on the banks of the River Thames in Hammersmith, London, England, that has played host to contemporary performance, film, visual art exhibitions and television production. In September 2014 the venue closed for major redevelopment, it is scheduled to reopen in 2018 with a state-of-the-art building which will provide a vital new destination for live entertainment and a centre for innovation within the field of live-to-digital arts. The new Riverside Studios will house three television/live arts studios, a cinema and screening room, rehearsal space, an archive and reading room and restaurants and bars looking out over the river. The varied programme will be comprised of theatre, comedy, independent film, exhibitions, festivals, installations and conferences with options to hire the spaces for external events. Riverside Studios also produces FuturePlay Festival, a digital arts festival which celebrates, explores and showcases cutting-edge creative content and ideas at the intersection of art and technology. It offers audiences a diverse programme of virtual reality experiences, interactive games and installations, live performances and an industry-focused conference. The festival took place as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2016-17 and will return to Riverside Studios when the building reopens.

Founded in 1988 by Louise Richards and Kevin Finnan MBE, we create world class dance-circus productions that tour extensively to rave reviews across the globe. From full-length productions for theatre touring to flexible work for the outdoors and large-scale performance events, our sell-out productions integrate athletic physicality, powerful narrative, incredible digital imagery and emotive sound scores. Our work takes its inspiration from common human concerns and our connection to the world in which we live, with recent works exploring flooding, the pressure of time, fear and captivity, and our relationship with water, the Earth and energy. Our dancers perform on stunning sets, alongside JCB diggers, with aerialists and singers, in incredible settings and to breath-taking effect. We have an enviable reputation for delivering an excellent programme of education and training at our studio in Leamington Spa, throughout the UK and further afield. We deliver a wide range of learning and training projects, in schools and in the community, for students and for young professionals, focusing on skills-development and creativity. Our teaching is accessible and inspiring and emphasises a sense of achievement for all. We offer a range of activities for all ages and abilities and frequently offer the opportunity to develop creative work for performance. Motionhouse is supported using public funding through Arts Council England, with additional support from Warwick District Council. Motionhouse is proud to be a Birmingham Hippodrome Associate Artist.
