We’re raising money to provide meaningful employment to working class/ global majority creatives!
If you’re able to chip in, however big or small, we’ll love you forever.
We’re so so grateful for all the support so far. If you believe in this cause or know people who do please share it.
Hopefully this will help prove the want and need for more robust support for working class and global majority artists!

✨ Work With Us ✨
We know how hard it is as an early-mid career artist doing everything yourself. Necessary skills are often gate-kept, while key guidance stays unaffordable.
Over the last few months we have been working with artists to offer support tailored to their needs. This has been helpful in getting their shows off the ground, avoiding our mistakes, and teaching people how to do it themselves! We have helped with production packs, budget creation, dramaturgy and workshops.
We are offering tailored bespoke packages to give you the support you need, without stretching your budget. From specific practical tools to full show management, we work alongside you to ensure you’re confident in your show.

We added light to ensemble building exercises to find moments of connection and contrast. We’ve paired this with more gorgeous text from Rebecca Solnit’s Hope in the Dark, a huge inspiration for us over this week.

We played with contact improvisation, speeches from revolutions, and improvised polyphonic singing. We smashed them together to build small sequences and see what happens!
Text adapted from Subcommandante Marcos of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation - a libertarian socialist, anti-capitalist, and indigenous-rights revolutionary group based in Mexico.

We had the most GLORIOUS night at the @ndawards 🥂
To be in a room full of hundreds of people who dedicate their lives and work to making the world more inclusive and compassionate was, quite honestly, awe inspiring.
In a world that is forcing us to divide and split ourselves apart it’s was a true light - proof that when unity leads society wins.
It was a real celebration of passion, courage, allyship and the hope we can bring to society.
What a huge honour to be a finalist. It will continue to serve as a reminder of what is actually important, and what each of us is capable of doing should we put our minds to it.
Hate will not win!
Introducing our 2025-2026 Mentees 🎉
Every year we aim to work with a selection of Working Class and Global Majority emerging artists, bring them into our community, and assist in the development of their projects in anyway that is helpful!
These 6 BRILLIANT creatives are making proper groundbreaking and exciting work. They joined us on tour and we gave them a small glimpse into our process.
We can’t wait to work with them some more 🌟
