Outdoor Performance Call Out – South Devon

Callout for theatremakers, artists and producers making original performance work!

Doorstep Arts and South Devon Natural Landscape are offering a fee of £7000 to an artist/artistic team/company to tour an innovative, exciting piece of outdoor theatre to 3 community locations on the South Devon Coast between Plymouth and Torbay across July-September 2025.

The piece will need to respond to the themes and topics being explored by the wider Life on the Edge project – Nature and biodiversity or health and wellbeing in nature – more details can be found below.

The performance could be multidisciplinary, processional or integrate circus for example; the project also requires a physical or digital creative output that can be used by the project team after the show has toured, for example something that can be displayed or used as an educational tool in future community work e.g. film, music etc. (£800 additional budget available).
