Performance Space Update: COVID-19
The Performance Space team has closed our office for the time being, and relocated to our homes to ensure the safety of our staff, our loved ones and the broader community. Right now, every possible effort needs to be made to flatten the curve of the pandemic through social distancing and heeding the advice of our health experts.
We continue to work as planned, and we’re available for you to reach us online via email. You can find all our contact details here.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is far reaching, with catastrophic health and economic impacts on the broader Australian arts industry that are still unfolding. Our planning process is centring artists and the impact that these events will have on their projects and incomes as artists, casual workers and freelancers are among the most immediately and adversely impacted by the current situation. We will keep regular communication with our artists and community as our plans evolve—please follow our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts for the most regular updates.
Please consider supporting the continuation of Performance Space to assist with the future of our much loved programs and support of experimental artists, including our Artists Development Program, residencies, Liveworks Festival of Experimental, Queer Development Program and many more. If you’d like to make a donation, you can do so here.
Official information and advice on COVID-19 for community and businesses in NSW is available here.
We would like to thank our colleagues at Live Performance Australia, NAVA and Theatre Network Australia who are working tirelessly to support and lobby for our sector.
We wish you well during these unprecedented challenges our community is facing. While the world moves indoors and we adjust to a new way of life, we encourage you to stay connected online. Here are some amazing podcasts, videos, and archives of our work that are available to access now:
