about Ceremony
Getting in Touch
Future Ritual is a practice of gathering, curating and organising. We collaborate with artists to create contemporary expressions of ritual, working to support the emergence of new and more attuned cultures.
We understand performance art and experiential practices as potent ways of connecting with ourselves, each other, and the places we inhabit. Against the alienation and fragmentation of contemporary life, Future Ritual fosters spaces to think and feel through land, desire, belief, mystery and death.
Established by artist and curator Joseph Morgan Schofield in 2017 and formalised as a Community Interest Company in 2023, Future Ritual works locally, nationally and internationally from our home in London (UK). Our projects span residencies, performances, workshops and festivals, always committed to (and working from) the live and embodied practices that welcome complexity and sensitivity, and that call us towards the raw edges of experience.
