For over a decade we have championed the development of performance art through commissions and innovative programming. Over 180 artists, choreographers, musicians and dancers have worked with us to make and show new performances to live audiences in London and around the UK. As we continue to collaborate with and support artists from wide-ranging backgrounds, we are evolving with the field of contemporary performance by providing platforms to discuss, develop and share artists’ work.
