BOLD MAKERS will support three theatre companies working across devising, site-specific work, and physical theatre. Each selected company will be paired with a specialist mentor to support the development of new work. These mentors are Told by An Idiot, In Bed With My Brother and Dante or Die.

This award is designed to facilitate emerging theatre companies in the development of a new piece of work at an early stage of development. We are looking for all kinds of devising companies, perhaps those who make site specific work, physical theatre groups or those playing with form. 

We have 2 set weeks of space available for companies. These are the 22nd -28th June and the 20th - 26th July. Please make sure you are free on these weeks before you apply.

N.B At this time we will currently not be accepting applications from solo artists.

The 3 final companies will receive:

• Sessions with a mentor who specialises in the relevant field.

• £1000 for each company.

• 2 weeks of rehearsal space with a sharing for all three companies at the end of the final week.

• Each sharing will be filmed by a videographer.

• A performance at BOLD later in the year.
