Description
Opened in 1998 as the first major capital initiative of the Jerwood Foundation, the Jerwood Space is now established as one of the best rehearsal spaces for theatre and dance in the country. Young dance and theatre companies develop their work at a greatly reduced cost, working alongside established professional companies who pay competitive rates. A beautifully refurbished Victorian school (Paxton Locher Architects) also offers a contemporary art gallery, café and striking glazed courtyard (Satellite Architects); these are all open to the public and available for events. Another capital development by Munkenbeck & Partners has restored the lost top storey with more magnificent space to make "the work of art".
