£150. No strings attached. Apply now.

We have today opened submissions for a new bursary as part of our Protest series. There are three £150 bursaries available for artists in response to the changing political landscape for trans people, particularly the Supreme Court ruling on definitions of sex and gender, and the EHRC guidance that has followed.

There is no expectation of a specific outcome attached to these bursaries. We invite artists to use these funds however feels most meaningful for them. This could be anything from an artistic piece, a community event, or paying for your own rest as a form of protest.

Get discounted tickets for The Watch by Isabella Waldron. Performances run from 28 May to 9 June.

Fusing tender romantic comedy with dreamlike storytelling, Isabella Waldron’s The Watch is a contemporary love story that explores the delicate dance between time, intimacy, and identity.

When insomniac Hannah meets clockmaker Zoe, days blur into nights, reality gives way to desire, and love becomes both fleeting and infinite — unraveling a profound exploration of trust, timing, and the delicate art of letting someone in.

The Watch navigates the messy, tender, and transformative terrain of young queer love, capturing the fragility of time, the complexity of identity, and the beauty of human connection in all its imperfect forms.
