"I am incredibly excited and grateful to Sky Arts for funding this brilliant bursary at a challenging time for theatre-makers. Theatre freelancers in particular have been badly hit by the Covid closures and these bursaries allow us to recruit two early career artists and nurture talent whilst so many are having to leave the industry in droves. By ringfencing at least one of these positions for an artist who self identifies as D/deaf or disabled we are enriching the stories that we tell and the way we tell them. It also keeps us pushing, growing and challenging ourselves which is so important creatively for theatre. We can’t wait to have two talented artists join our team."

  • The Artistic Associates worked closely with Nadia Fall and the Artistic team to generate, ideas, artistic collaborations and provoke creative dialogue and innovation.  They also helped curate and contribute productions/creative events and worked across departments. The two successful creatives received £12,000 each and one of the positions was ringfenced for an Artist who self-identifies as D/deaf or disabled.
