Residence is a group of individuals and theatre companies who share space and resources. By supporting each other we create a place where new performances can be created and shown in their early stages.

By moving our work out of bedrooms and kitchens and into a shared building we are able to meet and discuss, offer advice, and make cups of tea for each other. We are able to emerge from isolation and replace it with co-operation and collaboration.

Residence is an amazing, supportive place, which sustains the theatre practice of 20 people, helping them create new work and making Bristol one of the most active cities in the UK for independent theatre.

We are currently based at The Milk Bar, St Nicholas street.
