"Unearthed Festival is about more than performances, it’s about growth, risk, and connection. It’s about creating space for artists to take chances, find their people, and feel seen."
North East theatre artists, creators, and writers... do you have something you’re working on that you’d like to try out in front of a Live audience?
Unearthed Festival Scratch Night is a chance to take risks, have fun, and test out bold new ideas with fellow creatives in front of a Live Theatre audience hungry for exciting new work.
We’re looking for artists and makers with new work that sparks curiosity, pushes boundaries, or doesn’t fit neatly into a box. We’re not just looking for new writing, we are excited to hear from artists working in devised performance, dance, experimental theatre, comedy, or a mix of all of this!
Artists will have a slot of up to 10 minutes to share their work, with each artist will receiving a fee of £150.
Take to our stage and share your burning idea, your joyful risk, your work-in-progress experiment, or your theatrical wild card. We can’t wait to see what you’re making!
