Laban's Deptford location may seem far-flung, but the spacious
south-east London spot allowed the venue to call itself the largest
purpose-built contemporary dance centre in the world when its new
building opened in 2002. Designed by Herzog and de Meuron, the Swiss
architects behind Tate Modern, Laban's stunning architecture reflects
the challenging contemporary dance the institution advocates. As well as
academic courses (BAs and the like), the centre presents an ongoing
line-up of experimental, arty shows by its students, as well as visiting
companies, in its 350-seat theatre.
