Future Ritual amplifies the enlivening and transformative potential of performance art. 

Against the alienation and fragmentation of contemporary life, Future Ritual creates and holds spaces for curious publics to gather, to think and to feel through place, desire, belief, loss and mystery.

Summer 2025 Update: A Felling is available for touring. Please direct any enquiries to producing@futureritual.co.uk

A collective performance initiated by Future Ritual, A Felling explores ideas of death, remembrance, transformation, rebirth and the transferrance of energy between bodies and between the body and the environment.


Artists Ash McNaughton, Joseph Morgan Schofield and Marcel Sparmann co-create an immersive work, inviting audiences to step into a space of contemporary ritual, activated through intense embodied practices and characterised by expressions of compassion, vulnerability, strength and ethical exchange. Through this future ritual we may temporarily inhabit time in a different way, engaging in individual and collective experiences of processing and communion.

Performances
Premiere: IKLECTIK (London), Nov 2023

Further performances: Experimentica Festival (Cardiff), April 2024 and Venice International Performance Art Week, 2024.
