Andy Field + Beckie Darlington

MONSTERS is a film project made in collaboration with school children from across East Anglia, creating a fictional documentary that will use the familiar tropes of Hollywood monster movies as a way for young people to reckon with ecological change.

Reflections on friend | Gillie Kleiman

This October SPILL and Gillie Kleiman are working with non-professional dancers to create a new dance-piece performed at home. Join Gillie and SPILL Artistic Director Robin Deacon at this Think Tank event as they share their reflections on the process, relationship with contemporary dance, and the reactions of their friends and family.

Ipswich Caribbean Association Project

SPILL received funding from Historic England to commission a local artist to recognise and celebrate the historical and community significance of the former building. Following our open call, our community project Steering Group is delighted to have commissioned celebrated local photographer John Ferguson to present a new collection of works in what he is describing as ‘a love letter to the ICA’. More details on the upcoming exhibition are to be announced soon.

The Posh Club | Duckie

The Ipswich Posh Club was run by Duckie in partnership with SPILL in Ipswich Town Hall on 4 June 2024, and, with 220 guests, was one of the biggest events in the project’s history.
