Performing Arts: case study
In 2009 Trustees awarded £75,000 towards a rehearsal room in the new education and rehearsal centre for Shakespeare's Globe. This space, now named the Sackler Studios, has been created from the renovation of a nineteenth-century warehouse building and now offers a centre of excellence for the teaching of Shakespeare through performance and creative arts within 50 metres of Shakespeare's Globe itself.
This project is an example of the Foundation's funding of the performing arts, involving the conservation of historic space, and the support of high quality performance.
