RAW is not your typical night out, and the first of its kind in London. No two RAWs are the same.

Join us on January 31st for a What Does Not RAW at The Little Orange Door where we showcase real and uncensored stories told by everyday people, paired with art, music, and other creative expressions.

The theme to kick off the New Year is PLAY - from games we play to games that help us evolve - or define who we are. Together or alone. In a studio, on the court, or in the bedroom. For recreation or meditation. The types of play, and roles we play are as numerous as the humans on this planet. Play can be the source of our most vivid childhood memories, the way to re-centre and find focus - or cultivate a 'beginner's mind'. We'll explore what 'play' means to everyone, and what true story brings it to life. 

And to make the night EXTRA special, we've arranged a FREE rum tasting with the amazing  Paul McFadyen, Brand Ambassador for Plantation Rum. You can pre-book for the tasting at ticket checkout - please note that taking part in the tasting is optional and seats are very limited.

    ABOUT RAW

    RAW started life among inner circles and word of mouth. An “if you know you know” kinda vibe, before going public. It’s an event that’s the first of its kind and has been described as “one of the best nights out in London”. RAWs take place in some of the coolest venues across the city.

    The event brings together people from all walks of life for a night of immersive experiences and curated storytelling on a theme - featuring true stories told by everyday humans. The RAW series was designed for this time of division and disconnection and is based on the premise that genuine human connection can be the cure. What if you have more in common with people you didn't think you have anything in common with?

    What Does Not
    What Does Not is an experience and culture agency with an incubator at its core. We're a hybrid entity that disrupts perceptions, brands & nights out. We combine the functions of an events company, collective, and creative agency. WDN is female founded and led, as well as a social enterprise. We're breaking the mould of average nights out by dishing out the cure to loneliness in cool and vibey ways, while giving a leg up to emerging creators. From immersive storytelling nights, to live music events, panels with a difference – and more – everything we do at What Does Not is designed to be an antidote for this age of loneliness, disconnection, and polarisation.
