Description
What we offer:
Mentoring
We provide mentor-led residencies for groups of up to six artists. These mentored processes can also be booked as one-to-one residencies, or as a block booking for your own company. Our mentored residencies make use of the whole creation space in our beautiful rural location.
Our artist-led residencies offer an alternative approach to Fine-Art Performance. We offer you the opportunity to question the underlying philosophies and methodologies that drive us to make Art.
What does this mean?
Fine-Art is term that encompasses a wide range of techniques and approaches to the creation and presentation of art. We are offering a similarly broad canvass for you that encompasses performance-based work and writing to try out your ideas upon. We offer a broad Fine-Art approach to the process of creating work, with specific guidance in:
Devising movement-based work – discovering what it is you want to say.
Designing and making costume – an alternative approach; costume as sculpture.
Writing for performance – the relationship between word and action.
Building larger structures in steel, timber and willow – how to create at scale.
Creating music for performance – the relationship between sound, word and dance.
You can book our entire creation space individually and we offer one-to-one tuition, mentoring and technical support as required.
Artist Retreats
We also offer residencies with technical support only, or as reflective time only as you require.
Our Studios:
The sewing studio is a dedicated costume-making space and can accommodate one artist at a time, or a close team of two.
Our larger studio is multipurpose and is excellent for small groups of up to six.

Mentor-led Residencies
**Our next available residency is the 23rd to the 27th of September and focuses on costume for performers. It offers a unique insight into the intrinsic links between what you wear and how you behave. This week is designed for movers and makers. You can come as an individual, or as a mover-maker collaboration. The residency will be led by company director Alex Rigg with guest mentors in music for performance, as well as offering some insight into funding for freelance artists.
Our programme is designed to help professional artists and will offer a ‘Fine-Art’ approach to the creation of live work. Each day will look at a different aspect of the creation process and allows you to make a fresh approach to the devising and realising of work.
