LIFT

Jerwood Futures

Since 1981 LIFT has been pioneering new forms of theatre, presenting spectacular performances and moments of magic in every corner of the capital. A year-round programme culminates in the world-renowned biennial festival that transforms the city of London into a stage. Six early career theatre makers embedded on three large-scale commissions

Our support is for six early career artists to be embedded in three significant commissions as they are developed for the 2018 festival. Identified through LIFT’s extensive networks in Tottenham, the artists will be paired on the basis of their complementary practices and will be involved as collaborators as well as having the opportunity to shadow members of the company and undertake mentoring. The participating artists are: dancer Elsabet Yonas; Spoken Word Artist Güneş Güven; choreographer/dancer Hannah Anderson-Ricketts; choreographer/dancer Duwane Taylor; music producer Josh Donkor; music producer Desty Engele; and music producer Mekel Edwards.
