Various Stages is our pioneering research & development programme opening up the creative process to artists, promoters and audiences.

It’s an ongoing programme of open calls, workshops, public showcases, discussions, feedback sessions and mentoring opportunities.

If you would like to be involved in Various Stages then look out for our open calls.

The work I create cannot be made without the workshops which happen at Various Stages. As a composer I need to learn how the minds and bodies of the performers work by being with them and feel how my music and words work in real time and space.
Jamie Man, composer and Various Stages artist

I have a strong belief that the process will create the end piece of work. And my main interest is in process towards transformation.
