Whilst building on its distinguished history, The Place has always retained a spirit of adventure, unafraid to challenge tradition at the same time as promoting a sense of progressive enquiry and innovation. This spirit is vital to the continued development and renewal of modern dance and allows us to remain a constantly evolving organisation, adapting to meet the changing needs of dance in the 21st century.
“It’s challenging to plan for a future that we cannot predict, but it is useful to remind ourselves that if we are able to be truly courageous, then in five years time, the artists that come here will be doing things that none of us can yet imagine.” Kenneth Tharp, Chief Executive, The Place
We have launched a Pioneering Fund specifically to help us support those ideas which push contemporary dance into previously unexplored territory. We very much need the support of individuals who share our vision for creating new work and who recognise The Place’s vital role in nurturing new talent and supporting pioneering activity. The Pioneering Fund will provide The Place with the financial resources necessary to continue to take risks and invest in ground-breaking initiatives, as and when new opportunities arise.
A gift to the Pioneering Fund will help us ensure the very best future for contemporary dance. You can support the Fund by giving online or by downloading and returning a Pioneering Fund donation form.
