NEW WORK SHOWCASES

Slime and Pies offer opportunities to emerging creatives to platform their work alongside other plays and ideas in development.

We have run three New Work Showcases to date, each with an individual focus, choosing venues and curating lineups that compliment and enhance the work.

During New Work Showcases, we offer practical support to artists through dramaturgical input, organisation of creative teams and casting, and collation of audience feedback to provide artists with fuel to further sharpen their ideas.

Below are some examples of our previous development processes:
