OPEN ACCESS STUDIO TIME
For OPEN ACCESS STUDIO TIME, members can book free time in our studio, at Tramway, throughout July and August, starting from Thursday 8 July.
Book a spot here.
Studio time is bookable in half-day blocks, and can be used for closed rehearsal and practice, i.e. to develop or sustain practice, rehearse, test ideas, get back into moving, and more. This is free, short slots of time in the TWR studio, and there is no bursary or fees associated with this offer. Please note – these slots cannot be used to hold classes, workshops or any public facing activity.
OPEN ACCESS STUDIO TIME is a pilot programme, following on from feedback from our Members Working Group, and Members Assembly, around increasing the ease and transparency around accessing the studio, when it’s not in use by our regular programme. We will be piloting methods of booking and advertising slots of studio availability over Summer, with the aim of refining and embedding this offer alongside our next round of residencies (from Sept 2026).
