SYNCOPATE

Step into SYNCOPATE – South London’s freshest scratch night. Championing marginalised voices and offering a space where bold creativity meets vibrant audience. Every 3rd Thursday of the month starting this June.

1 theme, 1 cast who syncopate the work of 2 artists with 2 songs. Wisdom SYNC brings you a scratch night with seasoning. Spotlighting talent across theatre, comedy, improv, poetry & live music - you've never been to a night like it.

The theme this month is mental health, with a nod to Movember we felt it was only right to highlight how mental health issues affect the marginalised, Black and global majority communities.

Wisdom Sync is a independent Production Company based in South London amplifying marginalised characters, stories and Creatives. Collaborating with local and independent businesses and people wherever they can to uplift, empower and create visibility. This event powers the Wisdom Sync film fund and continues to bring to life future projects, courses, workshops and events.
