Working with Imaginate has been invaluable for my professional development. I've received support to research and develop work with a focus on my artistic process – this has allowed me to be more experimental in approach than I could be elsewhere. I've had the platform and funds to work with and learn from an experienced practitioner as well as collaborating and strengthening my relationship with peers. I've felt extremely empowered in receiving this support through Launchpad’

Launchpad is a project to support early-career/career-shifting theatre and dance artists interested in making performance for young audiences.  Our aim is to create routes into the sector, offer paid research and development time, an international children's festival visit and support the development of new scratch ideas. 

Since 2018, we have worked with artists Rosa Duncan, Eoin McKenzie, Zoe Bullock, Alex McCabe, Ruby Hirsch, Cynthia Cheung, Priyanka Jha, Clare Adam and Lesley Howard, Kirstin Georgia Abraham and Dan Brown.   You can read about them all and their Launchpad projects in the links below.

If you would like to discuss this project, or any other creative development work with Imaginate, please contact Fiona Ferguson, Creative Development Director.

Launchpad is supported by the Backstage Trust and the Garrick Charitable Trust.
