1927BAC Beatbox Academy

Founded in 2005 by Director, Writer & Performer Suzanne Andrade and Animator & Illustrator Paul Barritt, 1927 is a multi-award winning company based in Margate & London that specialises in combining performance and live music with animation to create magical filmic productions.

Their work is startlingly original and generates an incredible atmosphere. To watch a 1927 show is to get lost in a rich, bizarre, funny world conjured through stylised performances, animation, live music and song.

We are delighted that Please Right Back, new work by 1927 will feature in our 2023/24 season.

The Battersea Arts Centre Beatbox Academy is where young people aged 12–21 can learn to beatbox, jam with other young musicians, make their own music and perform in their own show.

Conrad Murray has led the BAC Beatbox Academy since 2008. He has developed a musical and theatrical devising practice to create new forms of performance and theatre, creating different theatre productions over the years, including the 5 star-rated (Observer, The Stage) Frankenstien (Gulbenkian 2021).

BAC Beatbox Academy return in Dec 23 with their exciting new version of Pied Piper.
