The Performance Corporation’s mission is to create daring theatrical adventures that energize, challenge, inspire and entertain audiences.

Our work strives to stretch the boundaries of where, how and what theatre can be. The team relishes taking audiences on site-specific journeys to out-of-the-way places, and transforming the commonplace into a realm of dramatic possibilities.

Collaboration is a key element of our ethos. We are committed to maximizing the artistic potential of everyone involved in the creative process. By integrating artists of all disciplines into its work, The Performance Corporation seeks to remove barriers between art-forms and enrich our theatrical language.

We believe that innovation, exploration, and risk-taking are vital for the health of contemporary theatre. Development work, residencies like the SPACE Programme and support for emerging artists are vital elements of our commitment to this philosophy.
