a monthly performance art gathering | Tickets
Next: Sunday 7 December, 3-6pm, at Asylum Chapel, Peckham, line up to be announced soon.
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. We hope ALMANAC can be a useful space for artists and audiences, especially in these lean times.
This series takes place in Asylum Chapel, a gorgeous, evocative Georgian space, resonant with ideas of time and memory, and practices of sanctuary, belief and justice.
Each event will feature performances from three artists, programmed through invitation and open call. If you are interested in presenting work at ALMANAC, there is more information below.
The first three events are planned for Autumn 2025:
> Sunday 28 September, 3-6pm
> Sunday 2 November, 3-6pm
> Sunday 7 December, 3-6pm
The performances will take place in Asylum Chapel, Peckham. Queens Road Peckham (Overground and National Rail) is a 10 minute walk away and the area is well served by buses on the Old Kent Road.
Address: Caroline Gardens, Asylum Rd, London SE15 2SQ
Access: there are several steps leading into the venue. Ramps are available into the space. There are no accessible toilets onsite.
Please direct any queries to producing@futureritual.co.uk.
December
Sunday 7th December, Asylum Chapel, SE15 2SQ | Tickets: £6/£12/£16/£20Helen Davison
Helen is a process-led Performance Artist whose practice explores moments where communication fails, leaning into action, gesture and sound as a way to share experiences of otherness. Through the palpable qualities of the voice and the resonances of the body, Helen seeks moments of connection outside of self, with a desire to reach cathartic transformation.
Within their solo practice and as part of art collective SITE, Helen often works directly in response to public sites of architectural, ecological and socio-historic interest that hold traces of conflict as an attempt to divest these sites of power, and as offerings of protest. Helen’s use of the voice stems from research into sound, deep listening, and an ongoing practice of vocal improvisation as an extended form of touch.
Helen uses everyday materials and objects that hold personal significance, investigating their resonances, moving through a slow transition and (dis)integration of images, actions and sounds.

Paul Regan
"...and with your spirit 2"Paul Regan [b. Dublin 1970] has a background in painting and image making, holds MA in Visual Arts Practices IADT Dublin. Recurring themes in his work pertain to faith, religion, ritual, cultural identity and misappropriation. In recent years, he has developed a live performance practice to expand on ideas of compulsive action through site-specific interventions and activism.
He has presented and performed at several international platforms including Manifesta [Zurich], The Venice Biennale, Art Basel Miami, Documenta, Venice International Performance Art Week, PAB Open Bergen [NO], Performance Crossings Prague, Riga Sculpture Quadrennial, Performensk [Minsk], National Palace of Culture Sofia [BG], Akademie Schloss Solitude Stuttgart [DE].

There will be three performances (15-30 minutes) with a break between each one.
There is seating available, on wooden chairs. The Chapel is an old, stone building. Dress appropriately for the weather.
Drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available on a donation basis. There is an option to donate in exhcange for drinks tokens when booking tickets and we can take donation by card payment at the venue.
There are two toilets at the chapel.
Often, it seems that we need to wait for funding to make anything happen.
In the spirit of independent culture, we are organising ALMANAC without funding - the costs of the event (artist fees, venue, production and documentation) are met through ticket income, with the balance paid from our (v limited) cash reserves.
Tickets are available on a Pay What You Can basis. There are a limited number (30) of £6 tickets available for each event.
We hope most of our audience are able to pay £12 or £16, supporting the lower price tickets and helping us meet the costs of putting the event on.
There’s also a £20 option for those feeling flush! If you are able to pay this, you’re helping us to keep Almanac going into the future.
