Getting in Touch
Advice + Consultancy
collaboration
We collaborate with a constellation of artists, thinkers & organisers, working as curator, producer, maker and facilitator.
Our curatorial programmes are usually programmed through invitation, though some performance platforms, like ALMANAC and DISCHARGE are programmed through open call. 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.
... and get to know artists
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 Deptford, London). If you’d like to invite us to your things, or if you have a project or idea you’d like to explore presenting with Future Ritual, please reach out by email.
We have also started offering a consultancy service, through which we can explore artistic questions or ideas for projects. These sessions are imagined as something useful for artists’ wider practice. If you have a proposal or question around collaborating with Future Ritual, its better that you email first.
If you are an artist working in performance and feel a resonance with our work, then please do be in touch by email: producing@futureritual.co.uk.
We are a small team (currently working a total of 16 hours a week) so please do be patient if replies are slow.

our circle
close collaborationsThis circle represents a porous group of artists with whom we have developed extended collaborative relationships over many years.
There is no fixed model for these collaborations, which tend to emerge organically. In many cases we have worked with these artists as creative producers.
