Support Us
As a registered charity, our work is only made possible by our visionary community of friends and partners across the public and private sectors. Every donation is vital, and central to our success.
Like us, our supporters are creative, curious and ambitious. They share our vision for radical transformation through creativity and innovation, and seek to push the boundaries of physical intelligence in real and digital worlds.
Dance is for everyone, and the role of art, creativity and innovation has never been more important – but its existence has never been more precarious. Help us to secure not just its future, but a future without limits. Thank you.
Become a key Supporter
In 2023/24, we are focussing on four new Funds: the Creation Fund, the Dancers' Health Fund, the Resident6 Fund, and the Artistic Director Fund. These Funds have been developed to support key strands of the Studio's work in the coming years.
All members will receive a bespoke package of benefits: regular exclusive updates on the impact of their donation, exclusive invitations to bespoke events at the Studio, support with booking tickets to our season of performances, and acknowledgement on our website. Each Fund will cultivate a community centred on its circle of supporters.
