We support venues, promoters and theatres across Scotland to develop Scottish drama and we hope to build on the growing interest in Scottish theatre from outside of the UK.
We get very excited about new writing, children and youth theatre, innovative and cross-disciplinary work.
Showcase: Vox Motus
Vox Motus is a Glasgow-based theatre company aiming to dispel the prevalent myth that theatre is boring.
Vox Motus received £10,250 investment towards a new piece of work, Séance (working title), a new visual work exploring the true story of a Victorian spiritualist parlour that used magic, illusion and bare faced lies to dupe the world. This is about deception, deceit, outward lies and inner self-deception. It will be directed and written by Jamie Harrison and Candice Edmunds with lighting by Simon Wilkinson and sound by Graham Sutherland. We supported this because of the company’s excellent track record of creating innovative work of the highest quality and considered that the development process was very well planned. We thought that lighting would play an important part in the project and were aware of the lighting designer’s good track record.
