Join Us for Mix Up and Pitch - A Dynamic Gathering of Theatre Makers & Programmers

We’re excited to invite you to Mix Up and Pitch-  a vibrant, fast-paced gathering of theatre makers, producers, and venue programmers designed to spark ideas, forge connections, and shape the future of theatre in Wales.

What to expect:

• 5-minute pitches from theatre-makers
• 2–5-minute pitches from venues
• A spirit of openness and collaboration

Whether you're pitching or simply attending, this event promises to be a valuable space for discovering new work, meeting potential partners, and exploring creative possibilities.

Hear from:
Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru • Spectacle Theatre Ltd • YMa • Happy Dragons Theatre • Theatr Clwyd • Maria Luz Cervantes • Kitsch & Sync Collective

We’ll also open up the conversation around how we can better support R&D and pitching practices in our sector. Building on the recommendations from the English Language Theatre Review, we’ll explore what’s needed to move forward - resources, support, and shared understanding.

Let’s come together to mix things up, pitch ideas, and build the future of theatre. 

Our first event will take place online, but we hope to run this in person in the future if the appetite is there. 

The event will represent both established and newer voices aiming to tour across a range of scales, genres and audiences. It should provide an opportunity for both parties to discuss artistic plans 12-24 months in advance of the production stage and for promoters/venues/producers to feedback and express their interest.

Those wishing to take part will need to complete a simple application and go through a selection process. 

To take part please complete the short application form below.  Applications to be received by 30th September 2025.

If you’re applying, we want to hear why you’re pitching and what relationships you hope to gain. This will be significant in your application as we’re passionate about venues and artists working together to create new work and learn from each other. And if you’re successful in securing a pitch, it will also help you to make the most of the day.

Whether your pitch is a fully fledged production ready to tour, or is at the R&D stage, or even simply an idea that you want to explore, share it with us in your application. We also welcome pitches from venues who may have new audience development schemes or simply want to update attendees on their programming plans and aspirations. By developing a mutual understanding of the work, venue and audience needs, the hope is to create touring pieces that are responsive and accessible.

Welsh translation available on the day.
