Performance Space

Performance Space


Performance Space is a non-profit organisation that emerged over 40 years ago in response to artists desire to create and explore new forms of art driven by ideas and experimentation. During all these years, we have been the home of experimental practice in Australia, leading the dialogue nationally and influencing the shape of contemporary practice in Australia. 

Because Performance Space also represents a community of passionate individuals who believe in the transformative power of art. We would like to invite you to continue being part of this vibrant and essential community.

Your support has fueled our journey, and with your help, we can continue pushing boundaries and nurturing creativity for years to come.

 

Over the last years, the arts have been battered like so many other industries. Throughout this period, Performance Space has continued to push-boundaries and grow, imagining the future of art and reflecting on ways of working and developping, moving towards the future stronger than ever by;

  • Presenting a host of risk-taking new work, across major public programs, presenting and supporting yearly around 200 artists from across Australia and the Asia-Pacific
  • Building on our ongoing support for artists from idea to presentation as we offer dozens of artists residencies 
  • Commissioning brand new works from artists across Australia and the Asia Pacific, making sure to continue to push the boundaries of thinking and art-making within experimental practice

 

But we can't do it alone.
Our success is deeply connected to our supporters who are committed to the advancement of experimental art, new ideas and new futures.

We acknowledge the significance of Redfern as a place of change, resistance, resilience, and refuge for many communities, and as the birthplace of Black theatre in this country, and that we hold that history and honour it in what we do at Performance Space.
