  • Enjoyment and interest in Performance work
  • Active involvement in performance research

Artistic cultural exchanges nationally and internationally provide research material and rich creative experiences.

Performance takes on any number of meanings through video conferencing and multi media technologies. Working with international performance artists will challenge stereotypes and breakdown cultural and political barriers.

Nexus assists members of the community to:

  • Develop their abilities to work co-operatively and as a team
  • Appreciate and gain experience in aspects of performance and production both as audience and artists
  • Understand performance as a creative, expressive art form
  • Make important discoveries about their values and feelings and thereby come to a broader understanding of themselves and others
  • View themselves as integral participants within a social system
  • Foster an enjoyment of the performance literature and artistic conventions from a variety of cultures and traditions
  • Embark on a course of study and gain a qualification
  • Develop a visual literacy
  • Employ ICT and digital technologies to enhance and explore performance
  • Be actively involved in performance research
