It’s not surprising that for the historic venue’s 10th anniversary, celebrated this year, director Gregory Nash announced expansion plans that would make The Point in Eastleigh (Hampshire) the only theatre in the country with space devoted solely for the creation of new dance work. Nash is one of very few high profile theatre directors with a solid dance background.
After seventeen years as a choreographer, dancer and teacher, working internationally in opera, theatre and dance, Nash decided to go back to university. Graduating almost a decade ago with an MA in Arts Management from City University in London, he was snapped up by Val Bourne as programme manager for Dance Umbrella.
