Switch premiered in October 2022 with a festival featuring four brand new shows from five artists with connections to Peterborough. For each of these artists, Switch was their first opportunity to work with professional creative teams to bring their work to life.

We would love for Switch to become an annual programme, offering early career artists the opportunity to develop a piece of work with professional performers, directors, designers and technicians. Our first five Switch artists spent 6 months writing, developing, playing, composing and building with the mentorship of our creative team. In early 2023 we will be running creative development workshops (starting with stage combat!). Then, later next year we will be applying for a large funding bid to allow us to open up this programme to more artists over the coming years. If you have an idea, or a burning passion to start an idea, if you’re not sure if you have an idea, or if you want to have an idea but you don’t know where to get one from, follow our socials and keep checking back in our upcoming events for opportunities, training courses, events and more!
