This year LIFT marks 30 years of presenting remarkable international theatre across London that has changed the theatrical landscape of the city. To celebrate we brought together LIFT’s family and friends, combining veteran Lifties and the new generation.

Whilst Sky Orchestra was flying above the city we celebrated on the ground by throwing a 30th birthday picnic in a hidden garden behind our new home, the ICA.  Bunting was hung, blankets laid out, champagne was drunk and speeches were made all to the ethereal music of the Sky Orchestra and the dixieland and trad jazz of the Dixie Ticklers.

Thank you to all who attended, we felt very lucky and privileged to gather together so many exceptional and generous people to celebrate the last thirty years of LIFT, and launch into the next 30.
