STUDIO SPACE ART

Studio Space Art is an Independent Arts House on the East Coast of Scotland in Dundee and is led by independent Artists Sharron Devine (Theatre Director|Performer|Designer|Community Artist) and Ben Scappaticcio (Musician|Photographer).

Studio Space Art’s core values are deeply rooted in listening, community, social engagement, openness, giving out, equality, accessibility, radical care and kindness to all kinds and generosity. They hold the door open to supporting a healthy and whole theatre, performance and arts ecology. Sharron trained originally classically as an Actress in London and now works across all art forms and Ben trained in Modern Musicianship in Edinburgh and also working together across all art forms.

Studio Space Art was born out of a deep want to do things differently in their Industries. After twenty plus years of lots of wonderful experiences working in their industries and collaborating together with experimentation always at the core of our work and practices they were at a place where they desperately needed their own space. They are lovers of space and old spaces in particular and love the restoration process, they restored their 140 year old listed space together from scratch. They also make a lot of site specific and site responsive works|installations.

Sharron recently set up three strands of cross art-form Residencies through Studio Space Art, 'the sanctuary' (local) 'it's a vibe' (national) and 'the sound of your voice' (international).

Sharron and Ben are absolutely delighted to be partnering with MOtiVE, Brooklyn and thrilled and excited for the future together in supporting more international exchange together.
