Fuse Arts

Fuse Arts teamed up with The Guildford School of Acting and other industry partners to create a unique project that aims to get the lights back on in theatre this autumn.

The project harnessed the talent of the next generation of GSA production students currently in their 2nd and 3rd years (specialising in Stage & Production Management, Lighting, Sound, and Construction and Scenic Arts). We have paired them with professional creative teams to work and produce Covid compliant pieces of live theatre.

Our aim was to produce cost effective achievable live theatre that was devised with Covid guidance in mind, in the hope that venues could consider deciding to stage them in theatres.

We created 4 newly written and devised theatre shows, written and created with covid restrictions at the forefront of the creation process.

They were produced and performed in November 2019 in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic, and stand a a testament to the resolve, adaptability and commitment of the technical theatre arts industry to continue to create live theatre in the ever changing covid landscape.

All four of these unique shows are available for use in your venue.

Cenotaph

“A triumphant monument to the fallen dead (of theatre)”

It is the year 2045. The Theatres are closed, what’s life like without live performance? Watch the magic of theatre fight back…

A unique Covid compliant and immersive installation that mourns the loss of theatre, but at the same time celebrates its unquenchable flame.

Blue Christmas

Following on from Fuse’s acclaimed ‘Blackout’ mental health project in 2019, this new Covid compliant play uses theatrical technology to take the audience on a personal journey through mental health and isolation. What happens when Christmas and mental health collide?

Lauren manages not only her mind, but work, Christmas and the Elf on a Shelf!

Home

Home is where we should feel safe and secure. For many people ‘home’ conjures up images of pain, tragedy and worlds crumbling. For many homeless people on the streets today, home is a complex place. But could the word ‘home’ be reclaimed for these people? What would represent the essence of it?

You can watch a live streamed version of the show here.

This show was devised and written by Selena Kelly. If you would like to get in touch with Selena contact our fuse email.

Refuge

Syria was one of the cradles of civilisation. The birthplace of the old Gods. A show featuring the Syrian Goddess Atargatis and Amira, a Syrian caught up in the modern day destruction of her country.
