If you were to establish your own venue, what would you call it?
The Stepping Stone
… and what would that venue specialise in? Dance, live music, theatre…?
Anything for emerging creatives - Directors, writers, actors, students and their grad projects… anyone who needs an opportunity to get a foot in the door.
What qualities should a 'great performance space' have?
I think character and flexibility- the ability for a space to host an array of acts and their audience, but also maintain its individuality and be able to feel how that manifests with each transformation.
Supporting the industry internationally since 2004
