SUPPORT US - ARTISTS

Artist development is central to everything we do at CPT. We’re not a theatre that does a bit of artist support on the side. It’s our priority, and our public programme of work springs from it.

By artist development we mean supporting early-career artists to make innovative work, helping them establish themselves artistically and structurally, offering them advice, programming their work creatively and finding them an audience – and (not least) giving them a community to be part of and a place to call home. The types of development support we offer include:

• structured schemes in which to develop new work to full production
• seed commission funds, including several for artists of colour
• free rehearsal space
• dramaturgical support and mentoring
• fundraising support
• discount or free tickets to CPT shows
• opportunities to become involved in the life of our theatre
• associate artist scheme
• fees for performances and contributions towards travel and accommodation
