Calling all budding theatre creators, artists and producers – award-winning theatre company Metta Theatre have this week announced the official launch of MettaMorphosis, an exciting brand new programme of free artist mentoring and support.
After a decade of supporting and mentoring artists from under-represented groups, including queer, deaf, disabled, neurodiverse and / or the global majority, Metta have launched an official programme to help support creatives and producers in practically developing their work, fundraising, producing and touring.
The programme is free for artists and producers to participate in and will be tailored to the needs of each participant. This could include anything from venue introductions to proof-reading funding bids as well as some direct cash bursaries to support developing projects.
Metta Theatre also continue to support organisations of all scales, and now have the ability to tailor their work to individual artists, with their environmental aims through sister organisation Metta Green, launched in 2020, which offers environmental sustainability consultancy.
Established in 2005 Metta Theatre has been at the forefront of new work – with a strong focus on the development of new British musical theatre as well as celebrating all forms of diversity both on stage and off the stage. They’ve been incredibly busy over the pandemic releasing a range of digital content including 5 cast albums, 7 music videos/short films and the digital musical Cells which can be found on both Youtube and Facebook. In December 2021 they also premiered their new musical The Rhythmics at Southwark Playhouse.
To keep MettaMorphosis free for artists to participate, it is entirely funded by donations and welcomes support from any individual who would like to contribute to the programme. You can find out more about how to donate on their website.
