Shaaray Sharif
Duration
Shaaray Sharif (she/her) is a performance maker and interdisciplinary artist whose work is rooted in postcolonial performance and explores power, identity, and resistance. Combining sound, movement, and text, Shaaray creates performances that challenge societal norms and amplify marginalised voices. Rooted in autobiographical material and framed through feminist, queer, and decolonial perspectives, Shaaray’s practice invites audiences to experience spaces of disruption, reflection, and empowerment.
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.
