Colliding art forms from theatre to music, graphic art to dance and film, we make, programme and develop work that challenges, thrills and uplifts. Whether creating new work for theatre or film, delivering our twice yearly festival of contemporary performance – Heads Up – or working with companies to unlock their creative potential, we aim to be constantly innovative. We make work for found spaces
, unusual places and strive to make culture, creativity and the arts accessible to everyone. Born out of our home city of Hull, our reach extends nationally and internationally with our experienced vanguard of advisers and advocates. We work with partners including Battersea Arts Centre, Arts Council England, the British Council and Garfield Weston to not only develop our own projects but to seek out and nurture the best emerging creative forces. We are responsible, political and social and believe entertainment and art can be truly transformational for audiences and participants alike. Current projects include Season for Change (climate change season), new E52 productions Pale Blue Dot and Dark Winter and Heads Up Festival #9, featuring The Castle Builder, Ross and Rachel and Almost Always Muddy.
