Rift Studios
Overview
Our creative conceptual studio in Hackney Wick is a versatile, inspiring space designed for expression, experimentation and new beginnings. Rooted in the theme of new chapter, birth and rebirth, the studio provides a visually immersive environment that encourages creativity in all its forms.
The rectangular layout offers an open, flexible floor plan that can easily be adapted for a wide range of activities. The space works beautifully for photography and video shoots, rehearsals, performances, DJ sets, pilates and yoga classes, workshops, castings, and creative development sessions. It is particularly well suited to dancers, actors, musicians and artists who are looking for a space that sparks inspiration.
Each wall presents a different artistic interpretation within the overarching theme, creating multiple backdrops in one room. Features include a striking blank canvas wall, an atmospheric cloud wall, a sculptural egg chair and soft, fluffy blocks that can be styled or repositioned to suit your setup. The open layout allows you to zone the space for performance, teaching, shooting or audience seating as needed.
Amenities include toilets (including an accessible toilet), a shower, and step-free ground floor access. A café operates on-site Monday to Friday, and guests also have access to a kitchenette in the neighbouring block, equipped with a fridge, microwave and drinking water.
Whether you’re hosting a workshop, rehearsing a new piece, capturing content, or launching your next creative chapter, this studio offers a distinctive and adaptable environment to bring your vision to life.
