Artist Development

ideacreative1b

Gala Theatre is committed to supporting emerging talent and the development of new work by regional artists.

Next Up…

Next Up… is our stage for new work and takes place once a season. Incorporating a wide range of genres the event is a scratch night that provides an opportunity for playwrights, artists and companies to trial and share works-in-progress in front of a friendly and constructive audience. Next Up… is a chance for you to road-test new work and gather feedback; it’s also the best way for the team at Gala Theatre to get to know you and your work.

Working space

We sometimes provide space for work that is in its early stages of development. If you’d like to tell us about an original piece of theatre you’re working on please send a short synopsis of your project to productions@galadurham.co.uk.

Bridging The Gap

We are delighted to have joined the line-up of stellar venues for the brilliant Bridging the Gap scheme which offers a supporting package of work to artists or companies making work in the North East or Yorkshire.

Venues North

Venues North is a network of venues from across the North of England who are committed to supporting artists to create new work. Our aim is to work together as venues to support new and emerging artists from the North to get their work more widely seen regionally, nationally and internationally.

Venues North is not a closed network or an exclusive group of venues, but open to any venue in the North that shares this commitment to artist development and new work.

This Routes In guide is about finding ways of offering audiences a deeper, more meaningful engagement with touring work, resulting in new and different relationships between artists and venues. It has been put together to help artists and companies making new work overcome some of the barriers to getting their work programmed.

Animating With Scissors

We commissioned film maker and animator Sheryl Jenkins to work on a six week creative project with St. Margaret’s Centre in Durham – a support centre for adults suffering from a wide range of mental health issues, aiming to improve the health and wellbeing of the community through various recovery activities.

Sheryl and the group used the Matisse: Drawing with Scissors exhibition at Gala Gallery and Gala’s production of Talking Heads to explore ideas about self-expression, colour and texture.

These four short animations bring together the drawings and poetry created by service users at the centre.
