Sadler's Wells was also pleased to announce its involvement with the FEDORA Platform whose investment in creativity and collaboration in the performing arts across Europe is needed now perhaps more than ever. Its Season Preview has highlighted forthcoming collaborations with artists who have been supported by FEDORA.
