Open Sessions

Our Residencies programme provides time and space for creators at all stages of their careers. A supportive environment to create, be curious, and try out new ideas. We welcome all sorts of genres and art-forms. 

Most Residencies culminate in an Open Session, which is a unique chance for you to go behind the scenes and experience work in progress.
