LIVE is Barrel Organ’s long-running artist development programme which supports underrepresented artists to develop a new idea. As well as offering mentorship and seed funding, the LIVE programme culminates in a night of new, short performances that challenge the limits of the live theatrical event.

 

Since 2021, LIVE has taken a new hybrid in-person/digital form and supported 30+ artists across the UK. In this new model, we host artists who are presenting work digitally and work in-person and these are received by an in-person and digital audience. 

​

Recent LIVE partners include Bradford Producing Hub, Barnsley Civic, and Stephen Joseph Theatre.
