Invitations and Proposals

From theatres to car parks, from schools to public spaces, Fuel produces high quality new theatre that reaches diverse audiences across the UK and internationally.

What are we looking for?

We collaborate with outstanding theatre makers with fresh perspectives and approaches who produce shows, performances or experiences which have direct and playful relationships with their audiences.

Our mission is to produce art that exposes our fears, reveals our hopes, and empowers us to change what needs to be changed.

How should you get in touch?

Although we do not take on existing productions (we work with artists from the beginning of their creative process in developing new work), we love hearing from new artists and getting a flavour of their work.

This helps inform us of how we might be able to collaborate in the future. If you would like to invite us to see your work, or to send us a sample of your work (e.g. script, recording) to give us an idea of your work, please email: [email protected]

What happens after you get in touch?

Please give us 4-6 weeks’ notice for an invitation or 8-10 weeks to feedback on a sample of work. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that we’ll be able to make it to everything we are invited to, or feedback on everything, but we’ll try our best.
