In The Room March 2025 Theme: Body /Bodies/ Körper
In The Room - 8 March 2025 - Theme: Body / Bodies
We consume culture - films, music, theatre, comedy, writing - made by strangers who we’ll most likely never meet or truly know every single day. At this event, we only hear creations by people who are In The Room. People start showing up at 13:00, chat in the kitchen, eat soup. When it’s time, we shepherd everyone into the living room, scribble the name of their poem, film or reading down on a door-sized running order and make our way together for the next 5 or 6 hours.
Bedsheets block the living room window so the projector is visible. Find a gap to sit and your mind is led into a different world again and again by each interpretation of the event’s theme. This year it’s Body / Bodies.

In The Room March 2024 Theme: Berlin
In The Room 2024 Theme: Berlin
For one day only, we turn off Spotify, Netflix and the radio where you can access strangers’ cultural creations. Instead, we gather and consume writing, poetry, films and songs only by people who are In The Room.
Over 5 or 6 hours we move from one creation to the next on the theme of Berlin.
Running order 16 March 2024

In The Room Jan 2023 Theme: Death
In The Room 2023 Theme: Death
The people around us are making things. I want to hear them, rather than just listening to strangers’ music and watching their films. That’s what In The Room is all about: for one day, we hear things made by people who are In The Room.
Until now, we’ve gathered and heard anything someone wants to bring. But by chance, Ben and I both had death relates pieces we’d made. So In The Room has its first theme. Death.

In The Room Jan 2020
Famous people are making stuff; that we know. But it turns out the people you know actually create enough culture to fill a whole day’s worth of music, readings and stuff to enjoy.
In The Room is getting anyone who wants to to come to your living room and listen to stuff made by people who are In The Room.
