Methodology
Meet UNTETHERED
We invite multi-disciplinary performers and makers to join our community.
We are passionate about live theatre and recognise that in an increasingly risk averse arts funding landscape it is increasingly difficult to get work off the ground. We recognise that there is a huge pool of untapped talent and that through working together we can make the work happen.
