“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”

Charlotte Eaton
“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.“
Charlotte Kransmo

Can’t wait to make new connections with the wider Oxford House community through scratch nights and other networking events as well!”
