York Performance Award
The York Performance Award is the result of a generous endowment by Sir Ron and Lady Barbara Cooke. The Award enables University of York students to perform in a venue beyond York in a drama and/or music performance. The Award is designed to help students with their career development in performance and to celebrate the quality of the performance work undertaken here in locations further afield. The Award is not designed to support research and development of a new project with a team that haven't previously worked together; it is designed to allow a team who have a proven track record of working together to perform work beyond, and in, York. Evidence of prior work together is crucial to this Award. At least four University of York students must be involved in the project, which may include performers, technicians, or producers. The aim is that the performance(s) should happen before 1 July 2027 in an established public venue, with applicants encouraged to think ambitiously about possible locations away from York.
