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.  

We are based in Peckham (London) and work from STUDIO: Future Ritual.

how can we cultivate discernment in times of transformation?

The rules we inherited for organising life no longer seem to suffice. Did they ever? If ecosystems thrive through ongoing relational recalibration, how might we cultivate ecological discernment in times of radical transformation? Through embodied practice, reflection, and dialogue with more-than-human companions, we will explore practices of attention that help us stay in relationship while everything - including ourselves- is changing.

The workshop draws on ideas explored in ABSCISSION,  a new artist book by Dani d'Emilia exploring release as a relational practice of care. 

Join us for the launch of ABSCISSION at Live Art Development Agency, Friday 20th November.

Through performance documentation and visual works, accompanied by critical, poetic writing, Dani engages their experiences of hysterectomy and non-binary mastectomy as entry points into wider questions of transformation, queerness, ecology and more-than-human kinship, inviting readers to move from overwhelm towards wonder with radical tenderness.

This workshop is presented as part of CEREMONY, Future Ritual’s festival of performance art.




to participate




We are experimenting with a new sliding scale for pricing. Use the codes below to access the lower priced places.

  • £100 - If you have external funding or are financially secure, you are comfortably able to afford modest luxuries like overseas holidays or to set money aside in savings.

  • £80 - If you have a reliable source of income that more than covers your basic financial needs, you don't have to worry about the costs of nights out. Code: DE80

  • £60 - If your income covers your needs with some left over, but you budget consciously and wouldn’t describe yourself as financially secure. Code: DE60

  • £30 - If you work for minimum wage or have a similarly low & precarious income. The number of the lowest tier places is limited to five in this workshop. Code: DE30
