Exploring Creativity, Society and the Roundhouse
Making Space: Exploring Creativity, Society, and the Roundhouse is a six-part podcast series from the Roundhouse hosted by CEO and Artistic Director Marcus Davey.
Across intimate, in-depth conversations, the series brings together leading artists, writers, and cultural thinkers to explore creativity as a powerful social force and to ask what it takes to build environments where imagination can truly thrive.
From personal journeys to wider cultural challenges, each episode reflects on how creativity shapes identity, opportunity, and society, and the role institutions play in supporting the next generation of talent.
Featuring guests including actors, sculptors, poets, and visionaries connected to the Roundhouse, Making Space is a celebration of bold ideas, creative freedom, and the power of artistic community.

Oscar-winning actor, writer, producer, and director Daniel Kaluuya joins Marcus Davey for the opening episode of Making Space. Kaluuya reflects on his journey from Camden youth theatre programmes to international success, and the role early creative spaces played in shaping his voice and ambition.
He explores intuition, independence, and the importance of empowering young people to take ownership of their creative futures. As Associate Artistic Director at the Roundhouse and founder of Centre 59, he also discusses how institutions can support emerging talent without limiting their growth, alongside wider reflections on the future of creativity in a changing world.
A landmark first episode setting the tone for a series about creativity, community, and the spaces that make both possible.
