Our Aims and Values

We have three main aims:

1. ENCOUNTER

To enable and sustain encounters between those who share an interest in performance and research and/or who may wish to collaborate within and beyond the university. 


2. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

To support research and development, making space for feedback including at early and uncertain stages of development. 

3. SHAPE, FOCUS, DELIVER
 

To help each-other to bring projects and ideas to fruition, via peer feedback, practical support, and funding.
