London Bridge Event Open Rehersal Weekend

Open Rehearsal, now in its 4th year, is a Mayor of London initiative taking place across London from 26^th to 28^th September 2008. This coincides with the launch of the Cultural Olympiad and follows Open House Weekend, marking an exciting week to be in the Capital.

Londoners and the capital's visitors are being given unparalleled access to some of the finest cultural organisations in the world during 'Open Rehearsal', a weekend series of events that will enable them to experience what really goes on behind the scenes in the capital's theatre, music, opera and dance venues.

'Open Rehearsal' is backed by the Mayor of London and aims to open doors, engage audiences, encourage participation and learning and promote London's phenomenal cultural offer - making it a perfect partner to realise the aspirations of London 2012's cultural programme.

For 2008 Open Rehearsal will also include, for the first time, visual arts, museums and open studios events.

Over the past four years over one hundred arts organisations have participated in the Open Rehearsal initiative. Previous projects for the scheme have included ballet classes with English National Ballet, backstage tours, DJ workshops at Cargo, open rehearsal with all of London's major Orchestras and creative writing with the Royal Court. Venues for 2008 are yet to be confirmed but will be announced on www.openrehearsal.co.uk from 22 August.
