“We are thrilled to be awarded a place on the Studio Space Scheme 2023-2024. This will give us chance to have space to play, to gather together young people’s ideas and to experiment with new shows. Being able to gain space in the City we live and work in allows us to continue the connections that we have built with families and communities in the local area. We are grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to see what it brings”

I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to use the excellent spaces at OHCH. This news comes at the perfect time for me – I am excited to use the space to develop my practice as a professional dance and movement artist researcher. Alongside running Inner Motion Movement (@innermotionmovement) and facilitating the expansion planned for the company, I am currently writing my PhD in improvisation and have recently qualified as a yoga teacher, so a safe space local to home (Stonehouse resident and proud!) will help me to find and maintain a healthy life/work balance. I am excited to contribute as much as I can to the OHCH community through scratch nights and through running classes in the spaces and across Plymouth for the community to engage with.

“I am delighted to secure a spot within the Studio Scheme. Being a dance improviser, this opportunity grants me a secure space to deeply engage in ensemble performance practice, alongside my scientific inquiry into the nature of self-regulatory and relational skills in within the realm of dance. This dedicated focus time promises to be the catalyst for a new and exciting chapter in my practice.”
