A leading Scottish theatre company has announced its new workspace and creative hub in the heart of Glasgow.
Internationally-renowned Vanishing Point’s new workspace is located on the top floor of a converted office block in Cadogan Square.
It will not only provide a base where the company will develop its own national and international projects, but also offer free rehearsal and development space to other creative companies and individual practitioners.
The workspace also includes meeting spaces and writing desks.

It consists of one large open plan area, suitable for rehearsals, which can also be used for making, or for writing and working at one of the many desks.
Vanishing Point’s Artistic Director, Matthew Lenton, said: “There are both practical and ideological advantages to this space given there is a general lack of availability of rehearsal and creation spaces, and most cost money to hire.
“We envision this as a place where artists can be around other artists, where a sense of community can be established, and ideas and resources can be shared.
"We have been fortunate to be able to occupy this space at relatively low cost, and so we want to open it to others so they can benefit from it as well.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
