Bristol Actors: When was the last time you practiced your craft?
Not rehearsal.
Not performance.
Dedicated, intentional practice.
This fortnightly lab is ideal for actors who want:
✨ To retune: align your body and mind to listen actively and follow those instincts
✨ To collaborate: deepen your ability to connect truthfully with other actors
✨ To improve: bring your curiosity, show up consistently, and you will see results

Most writers aren’t short on ideas - they’re short on time and space.
This lab provides both.
Work in Progress is a monthly writing lab designed to give you a focused environment and the freedom to work however suits you.
Built around the German concept of of alles kann, nichts muss (anything can, nothing has to) this is a space where you can:
✨ Make progress: develop any current work or start something new
✨ Work your way: independently or alongside others
✨ Share (or don’t): get feedback if you want it or keep your headphones in
Write what you want: poetry, short stories, novels, plays, etc.
Showing up is the first step, and putting pen to paper is the second. We believe that the rest will come naturally.

Creative work can be isolating. It can turn into an echo chamber. We want to combat that.
The Exchange is a monthly £0 PWYC space for creatives across disciplines to get in a room, discuss ideas, and keep things moving.
This monthly R&D session is for artists - poets, directors, novelists, designers, screenwriters, visual artists, playwrights, performers, etc. - who want to see what cross-disciplinary collaboration can unlock.
In the room, you can:
✨ Get out of your own head: hear fresh perspectives on how your work lands
✨ Stay accountable: show up, say it out loud, and commit to making progress
✨ Find something new: collaborators, approaches, or even an entire project
Bring something you’re working on, something you’re stuck on - or just bring yourself. As long as you bring a willingness to engage with the work of others, you’re all set.
