About

Residence is an artist lead organisation based in Bristol, UK, it's a collection of companies and individuals who make theatre, performance and live art. On the simplest level Residence provides office, rehearsal, storage and social space for it's members to make work in. It's also an excellent place for a cup of tea and a chat.

Residence grew out of an Open Space meeting held by Theatre Bristol, you can find out more about it's origins from this forum discussion: An artist lead space/venue in Bristol...

We found a home at The Old Horfield Police Station, under the wing of Artspace Lifespace, where we ran two office spaces, put on discussion events, used communal rehearsal space and presented work in progress.

We have just completed a move to the Bridewell Island, an exciting new project in the centre of Bristol, again run by ArtspaceLifespace. Subscribe to our RSS feed for regular updates on news and events.
