It prioritises process, learning and shared inquiry over predefined outcomes, and is centred on co-creation, care, listening and reciprocity.<\/p>\n

A rehearsal space for the future, situated on a 20 acre island at the edge of the city. Run by a collective of over 30 artist from various backgrounds \u2013 theater, visual art, photography, textile, dance amongst others \u2013 we try to envision different relationships towards time, care, generosity, space, people and nature.
