Future Ritual cultivates performance art and artists, in the UK and internationally, amplifying the enlivening and transformative potential of this artform. Our work is guided by a belief in 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 creates and holds spaces for curious publics to gather and meet, to think and to feel through place, desire, belief, loss and mystery.

artist development

Our programme is supported by artist development initatives, through which artists develop new connections and learn through field-leading practices. 

We hold a busy workshop programme, typically structured around intensive process in London.

Through STUDIO: Future Ritual, we also offer a low cost membership model, where artists use our light filled creation space on a time share basis.

working with artists

We collaborate and curate across duration and geography. We value long term collaboration. We work with artists at all stages of their careers.

We are drawn to those who foreground sensitivity and attunement to time, space, mystery, body and site, and whose practices call us towards the raw edges of experience.

Our curatorial programmes are usually programmed through invitation, though some performance platforms, like ALMANAC and DISCHARGE are programmed through open call. 

We welcome proposals to our email address, but generally will want to get to know artists and their work before agreeing to collaborate. There are lots of ways we get to know artists - including by attending performances and events, and having studio visits (in-person or online, and we can also host in Peckham, London). 

Our artist development activities are generally open call and this is also a good way for us to meet artists and establish new relationships. We also produce work and offer project management services. 

If you’d like to invite us to your things, or if you have a project or idea you’d like to explore presenting or producing with Future Ritual, please reach out by email.

Future Ritual also works with artists as producers. Every relationship is different, but typically this involves supporting artists’ to clarfiy and articulate ideas, access funding, build partnerships and deliver projects.
