Kevin Spacey Foundation grant recipients on how it boosted their careers
The Kevin Spacey Foundation is the official charity of the 2016 WhatsOnStage Awards. In this video, recipients of the foundation's grants – a financial boost of up to £10,000 for emerging artists and companies – explain the impact the help has had on their career.
Film Recipient: "The KSF grant allowed my filmmaking partner and I to DO the project! It funded almost every aspect of production and has been an inspiration for us to keep going."
Musical Recipient: "Without the grant we would not have had our work seen by theatres and festivals that have decided to program us, and given us a life beyond the Fringe. None of this would be possible without their support."
Dance Recipient: "The generous assistance of KSF helped us to evolve a completely brand new way of perceiving dance, inspire and tangibly touch individual souls, and truly mark a new journey for each of the artists involved."
Theatre Recipient: "Take an idea for a play, sprinkle with hope, add a conversation with Steve Winter and multiply with two weeks of sold out performances and you get a sense of what getting a KSF Grant means. Needed, appreciated and project changing. Thank you."
