Story
Friends! Colleagues!
Given my surname is WALKER, the fact that I am fundraising for Performance Space by doing a 9km run is nothing to be sniffed at. These guys took a punt and gave me a job in Australia, and we do some crazy mad work that I haven't seen anywhere else. Help me help weird and wonderful things happen (and win the fundraising race, at least).
I'M COMMITTED TO MAKING EVERY SPACE A PERFORMANCE SPACE!
Superhero name: El Stepho

Signature move/pose: It's too complicated to describe
Favorite method of training: Visualisation
Past achievements: Fendalton Primary School Citizenship Award 1993
Nemesis/arch-enemy: The Running Man
I STEPH WALKER hereby commit to completing the Blackmore’s Sydney Running Festival 9km Bridge Run on Sunday 21st September 2014.

I commit to spreading the word of the Performance Space fundraising quest, and doing my bloody best to raise some cash (ill try and reach $500) for our organisation.

I am committed to making every space a performance space

I understand I am doing this at my own risk, and realize that it may result in the expenditure of my own blood, sweat and tears. It may also yield a tightening of buns, hips and thighs, or at worst case death.
My last words, or words of encouragement are:
The only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. (oh dear jeebus help me cross the line)
The Performance Space Ltd
EVERY SPACE IS A PERFORMANCE SPACE
Performance Space is where exciting futures for Australian contemporary arts are forged.
Our mission is for artistic excellence and innovation to inspire, captivate and create audiences.
Performance Space is a cultural agency that facilitates new artistic projects and connects them with audiences across many different sites and venues: from theatres and galleries to non-traditional spaces and site-specific projects. We believe that every space is a performance space.
Our program is made up of presentations at our home base at Carriageworks, and in spaces around Sydney and beyond. We also offer artist residencies to support the development of new work and artform advancement opportunities to nurture and extend new kinds of artistic practice.
Performance Space champions work that takes creative risks, experiments with artforms and creates transformative and captivating new experiences for audiences. In particular, we develop new site-specific work, socially engaged practice, Indigenous and culturally diverse projects, works that incorporate emerging technology, and works that critically explore gender and sexuality from multiple perspectives. You’ll see all of this reflected in what we present.
We underpin the work we do through the following values:
- Advancing the contemporary
- Embracing risk
- Challenging the normative
- Innovating processes
- Bringing diversity
- Giving respect
- Ensuring sustainability
Performance Space is supported by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body; the New South Wales Government through Arts NSW; and the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy, an initiative of the Australian, State and Territory Governments.
