Artists

The Point is an international hub for the development of artists with world-class facilities

Artist development

We offer artists at all career levels the space and support to grow their ideas, practice and organisational infrastructure through our Associate Artist and @Home Artist programmes, range of CPD opportunities and more informal ways to connect and network.

In addition we run a number of training opportunities for graduates and artists to support their ongoing practice.

Our world-class facilities include a residential Creation Space with double-height ceiling for aerial rigging.

Our @ HOME Artists

As part of our current Arts Council NPO funding, we have formed a further long-term relationship with five companies working across, dance, circus, aerial dance, and family theatre.

Our @HOME programme supports companies who have an existing profile and work portfolio, but who are not Arts Council England NPO funded and have little or no core infrastructure. We are interested on going on a joint journey over an extended period of time and fuel an upward trajectory.

‘Twenty, Forty, Sixty’ an evocative and intimate dance on screen short by Kabecca Films celebrates the impact of dance throughout Lisa, a then sixty-three-year-old woman’s life and how it has and continues to remain integral to her being, from youth, motherhood to grief and connection.

Katie and Rebecca Dale-Everett, the female-led team behind Kabecca Films are continuing to develop work that puts mature women at the centre and will be developing the next film in this series with a member of our Retrospectif Dance Company
