Gemma Legan (she/her) is a Glasgow-based performer, deviser, facilitator and musician from Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. She is a graduate from BA (Hons) Contemporary Performance Practice from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Within her work, she often uses writing, Scots language, disruption, juxtapositions and contradictions to explore culture, individual and collective identity, non-conformity and barriers to self-expression. Gemma enjoys collaborating with a wide range of artists and communities to create playful spaces that embrace catharsis, connection and belonging.
Cove Park is pleased to expand its valued partnership with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland by offering a dedicated group residency in 2024 and 2025 for all graduating students of the Contemporary Performance Practice (CPP) programme. This initiative reflects Cove Park’s ongoing commitment to nurturing emerging talent in the performing arts.
From 2021-2023, Cove Park supported one recent CPP graduate each summer, providing space and time for creative development. Past residents include Sally Charlton, Nell O’Hara, and Margot Conde Arenas. The group residency marks a significant evolution of this partnership, offering a collaborative opportunity for the 2024 and 2025 cohorts to further their artistic practice in a supportive and inspiring environment.
This residency underscores Cove Park’s aims to support the next generation of artists at a pivotal stage in their careers.
