Rehearsals & Residencies

Whether you are using our studios as a rehearsal space or to develop new work, we love welcoming artists and companies at any point in their creation period to experiment with lights, sound, projection or other production elements. 

There are some additional costs related to the use of the space in production, as follows:

• Technical staff are charged at £25 per hour (minimum 4h call) and depending on the scale of the work you are creating, we can advise you how much technical time you will require for get-in / out and operation during your time in the space.
• We charge overheads of £50 per day for the use of the lighting rig and sound equipment (other than just our generic blue-tooth sound system). This supports the costs of maintenance of this equipment as well as the energy costs related to running it.
• Use of projector is £100 for day 1 (includes set up) and £75 per day thereafter. Note the space comes with a black cyc (cyclorama.) To change this to a white cyc, we need to factor 2 x technicians at £25 per hour (4 hour call) = £200.

The Creation Space also comes with a beautiful green room space, complete with accessible toilet and shower, accessible kitchenette, fridge, microwave, sofa and hanging rails. It’s a great breakout or chill out area for artists and companies – who get sole use of this space throughout the hire. It also includes stage access for performers entering and exiting the space.

If you would like to open up any part of your creation process with our local artistic or wider community, we are always keen to support this. In the past, companies in residence have opened up company class, talks or sharings and it’s a great way to share your work and gain valuable insight at various points in your process.
