Do It Together (DIT) is a peer-to-peer professional development programme that enables artists to explore ideas, aesthetics and sociopolitical realities together.
In collaboration with 19 national partners, LADA invites proposals for 10 peer-to-peer professional development projects designed by artists for artists to take place across the UK between March and September 2026.
We want to hear from artists and practitioners eager to design and lead a peer-to-peer project that benefits your own practice and others’, and explores questions, ideas, tools and methodologies in a shared, process-led space.
DIT is about learning with each other – not teaching others what we already know. Your proposal should set the frame of a collective enquiry for a group of artists to explore together. The most important thing is that you consider why it is important to do the activity with other artists, how you will do it together and what becomes possible through sharing the process.
DIT celebrates the unfixed, the unruly and the unconventional. We are looking for ideas that are rooted in our new realities, and those which create portals into the unknown. This is an opportunity to do things differently, and to support each other to challenge the status quo.
Calling all theatre makers, writers and performers. We’re looking for submissions of new or work-in-development pieces for our upcoming Scratch Night, a relaxed, supportive evening where artists can test out ideas, share work in progress, and receive valuable audience feedback.
We welcome applications from creatives at any stage of their career and are especially keen to hear from local or underrepresented voices in the arts.
Work should be no longer than 10 minutes, require only basic technical support, and be suitable for performance in the Court Room at The Old Town Hall, Trowbridge.
The event will take place on the evening of Friday 21st November 2025.
Selected pieces will receive a £150 fee, rehearsal time in the space, and the chance to perform in a supportive environment.
‘Creative Wellbeing’ – the title seems self-explanatory, but when does it get taught? Talked about? Not only will this workshop examine ways in which we can nurture our stress as artists, but will also look at how to identify and advocate for your boundaries - both in process and practice. What comes after you’ve said “no”? How does creative risk continue? You will be practically exploring exactly that. Other topics may include neurodiversity, burnout and supporting others. Creative Wellbeing aims to give young people aged 14-21 the language and confidence to create theatre healthily, honestly and unbound.
