The Lowry has announced the 2017 cohort of its artist development programme.
Five companies and artists have been awarded places on The Lowry’s Developed With programme.
This year’s recipients are Manchester-based Buddhist monk turned stand-up comedian Sam Brady; local poet-playwright Chanje Kunda; Italian contemporary dance company Igor and Moreno; London-based mask theatre company Theatre Temoin; and Berlin-based hand balancing artist Natalie Reckert.
Each will receive a cash investment and production support as they make a new show that will première at the venue. They also benefit from year-long professional development funding and support as they take a step forward in their practice.
