Original, innovative, collaborative theatre productions.
Arise ~ Emerge
A New Story
Where new productions ARISE.
Where creative and performance careers EMERGE.
For Writers, Creatives and Theatre Makers, ARISE & EMERGE exists as a self-sustaining, vibrant, creative cultural ecology; providing the confluence of talent and expertise with which to create new musical theatre productions.
We give access to funding opportunities and producing collaborations which converge to transition and transform new musical theatre writing from concept to fully fledged theatrical production. We are actively inviting submission of new musical theatre concepts and writing projects.
ARISE & EMERGE also focusses on giving highly skilled graduates across all aspects of the performing and creative arts industries their first step into the profession, providing fresh industry life-blood the opportunity to collaborate in the creation and emergence of original and innovative productions within the rural community of Basingstoke & Deane, where we are based; which for some is the place that originally nurtured their talents.
A New Journey
In collaboration with Kingsclere Performing Arts & Youth Centre CIC, ARISE~EMERGE have won a funding bid granted by the Basingstoke & Deane CREATIVE INCUBATOR FUND to develop an ambitious new premiere production.
Writing, research and development has already commenced with a workshop production of the new musical premiering in Basingstoke & London later in 2026.
‘What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning
The end is where we start from
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.’
T S Elliot
