New Diorama announces that it will present no public programme for the rest of the year. The London studio – Currently The Stage Fringe Theatre of the Year 2022 and fresh from the acclaimed NDT Broadgate project and the hit Royal Court transfer For Black Boys… – will instead offer a moment of full artistic reset, aiming to rejuvenate theatre’s status quo.
Awarding 33 creatives with a £20,000 grant and career support, the Live Work Fund – made possible by Jerwood Arts, Wolfson Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and The Linbury Trust, demonstrates the significance of collaboration, from the consortium of funders bringing with them their own valuable expertise to Jerwood Arts’ Artist Advisers offering their insight which in turn supports the decision making process. After the recent announcement of the Live Work Fund recipients, Jerwood Arts tell us more about the crucial fund, how they’ve found responding to growing need and what they’ve learned from their survey of 1200 applicants.
