Hope. New Work Development Initiative

Response to COVID-19, March—July 2020 · Bravo Arts

The project’s aim is to create and foster new theatrical work, online when necessary and beyond when possible; allowing a platform for writers, actors and audience to interact, respond and take part in the creation of new live works.

This project is equal parts innovation, experiment and is owning to a large number of passionate creatives from across an interrupted industry.
