for performance artists
]performance s p a c e[ is situated within an expansive constellation of artists and artist led spaces. We have always strived to act as a hub to local, national and international artists - developing the performance art network, while acting as a place of research, development and education - outside of mainstream institutions.
Our task is to facilitate the prime conditions for the production of performance art in the UK (and beyond), while expanding an understanding of the medium through practice led education/research.
We work with artists as hosts, curators, producers and mentors, through enquiry, invitation and open call. Please scroll down for more information.

as hosts
]performance s p a c e[ has always worked to be a hub for local, national and international performance artists, and we are proud to exist in constellation with many artist-led spaces around the world.As ]ps[ is currently scouting for our new London home, we are not able to host residencies with as much freedom as we have in the past.
However, for performance artists interested in autonomous residency opportunites, we currently opperate a partnership with VSSL studio in Deptford, London.
VSSL are frequently visited and activated by artists in this way and ]ps[ will negotiate a subsidised residency rate - offered on a sliding price scale (strating at free, for this whom need it most, where available), depending on an artist’s funding circumstances.

as producers
]ps[ directors Benjamin Sebastian and Ash McNaughton frequently collaborate with independent artists on the realisation of their projects. We are able to offer producing services, including mentoring, grant writing (or support) and project management. We have done this for many artists, including selina bonelli, Poppy Jackson, Martin O’Brien, Manuel Vason, Daniella Valz Gen & Joseph Morgan Schofield.
