PRODUCING SURGERIES FOR MID-CAREER ARTISTS
Feral are offering a programme of paid Producing Surgeries designed for Mid-Career Artists taking place across March – June 2026.
Feral primarily work with independent artists across movement-based practices – specifically Visual Theatre, Dance and Outdoor Arts. We recognise that Artists don’t stop needing the support of a producer once they become established and feel our work has had the greatest impact on Mid-Career artists who do not regularly have the support of a dedicated producer.
We are looking to work with Mid-Career artists who do not currently work with a Producer and would benefit from some structured support to explore a step change in their practice or progress a new project. The Producing Surgeries will be a collaborative space designed to offer focussed time and tailored support responding to the needs of each individual artist.
