102 Upper Street,

London, N1

Side/Step’s first edition took place in 102 Upper Street, a small restaurant in the heart of Islington.

The space was previously only used on weekends. Deadweight, alongside a number of other creatives, used the space for rehearsals, workshops, performances and fundraisers. It was a life saver to have free space in which we could continue making work. The space has since been turned into a full-time restaurant, Re:1996. The food is actually delicious…
