The Space Programme

The SPACE Programme is The Performance Corporation’s collaborative artists residency. SPACE has been running since 2008, and has benefitted over 70 artists. By bringing together artists and creatives from a wide variety of backgrounds, it offers the opportunity to work collaboratively and experiment with new forms and ideas.

Each year’s outcome has been vastly different due to the varied alignments of artforms, artists and interrogations involved. The consistent takeaway for participants has been that they have gained new expertise and understanding of the different ecologies we are all part of, a deeper knowledge of different work practices as well as new connections. One of the most satisfying outcomes from SPACE has been the number of enduring artistic partnerships that it has facilitated, and the variety of exciting projects that have come from those collaborations in the years following the residency.
