Back in the simpler times of 2019 we invited artist Peach Doble and her colourful tools to our festival to make an artistic response to our talks sessions. We have a larger project on the way soon, but as that was taking shape, we noticed some particularly powerful words and messages emerging and felt…
Allysha Joy is nothing short of a hero of ours. She’s a total cornerstone of the music coming out of (so-called) Australia*, both as a solo artist and as part of the band and collective 30/70. There is an undeniable resonance going on between Melbourne and South East London: so when we found out that…
Jemima Foxtrot is a writer, theatre-maker, performer and musician, who wears each of those hats with flair and originality. We’ve been lucky enough to have her perform a number of projects with us – she’s presented her solo work at our regular development night Hatch; as well as performing with the drag king collective The…
A virtual festival webspace and dreamy portal into the real-time memories, mixes and magic of a Brainchild weekend. https://infinity.brainchildfestival.co.uk/ | live 18:00 Friday 10 – 08:30 Monday 13 July While the pandemic continues to prevent us from getting together IRL in the Brainchild field, to connect with strangers and dance our hearts out, we’ve poured…
El Hardwick is a multidisciplinary artist, photographer, and musician who makes music as Moonbow. You can find all their releases here, as well as check out their extraordinary photography here. El joined us at the festival last year for a live set which went off – the sun-dappled woods came alive with people dancing to…
The work that Mary and Ell make is hilarious and liberating. They have a distinct and utterly joyful theatrical style, driven by an infectious curiosity and a will to start real big conversations by bringing to life the thoughts and experiences of others. They ask all kinds of people all kinds of questions, (notably ‘What…
Our next dose of Essential Remedies comes from our NYC/Berlin homie duendita. It’s fair to say that duendita lives a way of making art that is entirely hers; it is fluid and honest, without preconception or hard limits. It feels like the most natural thing in the world, that her ideas, melodies and lyrics are…
We’re very excited to introduce our new recommendations series, Essential Remedies. Each week we’ll be sharing things that have given members of our creative community joy, strength and new ways of seeing the world. First up is a big hero of ours, Emma Warren.
If you’re a performer looking to share a work-in-progress we’d love to hear from you! Call Out Hatch is our cosy, rough-round-the-edges mixed bill event for sharing new ideas and works in progress. Whilst we can’t get together IRL, we’ve adapted to a digital format. We’ll be hosting five short performances of early-stage works in…
At our 2019 festival we explored ‘endings’ across the programme – from the end of gender, the planet and to the end of life itself. As part of this we brought artists together in a conversation called ‘Re-Imagining Grief’, asking: how can we support one another through grief, and how does engaging with death change…
