A Communal working space
We’re inviting dance artists to come and work alongside each other in our studios. Low-cost and easy to book, Town Square Studio offers a fortnightly space for movement practice and and creative encounter.
As a shared space, we invite all users to be generous and open to the positive collision of different needs and practices. This is as much a space for working alone, as it is for small groups and those looking to collaborate.
Please keep talking to a considerate level (you can go elsewhere in the building for more meaty chatting) so that others in the studio can focus and prioritise moving and making.
We want this space to be available to those who are going to use it. If you need to cancel your place, please let us know so the space does not go unused.
