Artist Residencies
A long term paid commitment to an artist's development for 12-18 months. Residencies mean artists are more embedded in an organisation and may mean involvement in artistic conversations, insight into how the organisation is run, and having more time to develop a piece of work.

New Work R&D
Organisations offer space, time and money to develop new work without the pressure of having to produce/present something to a paying audience by the end of the process. Usually 1-2 weeks free rehearsal space, some funding for the project, and a sharing if desired to the in-house team.

Scratch Nights
Despite the number of scratch nights declining dramatically, there are still venues who provide this essential early career/emerging opportunity. Usually a regularly held showcase for short works in progress with an audience to see if your piece is on the right track.

The curious case of Benjamin Button making it to the west end is my absolute theatre high this year. LOVE that show - have followed it since it was a cast of 5 at the Southwark Playhouse Little. Such joy!
