Studio Space

We offer artists FREE use of our studios to create, develop and rehearse work.

We put no expectations or requirements on artists for how you use your time with us – whether you are exploring new ideas, rehearsing for a performance, trying out some new technology, auditioning performers or simply need some space to think and be –the space is yours to use as you need … but we are always available to offer feedback, help or just to chat things through.

We can facilitate sharing events or feedback sessions as part of your time with us. We can also work with you to plan workshops/ wraparound activities with local communities if this is part of your project.

We prioritise offering space to artists who align with at least one of our programming strands.
