At SCENE + HEARD We believe that Art is supposed to reach its audience. We believe that it is the prerogative of the work to sometimes not work. We also believe the audience should be instrumental to the development of Art. It is for that reason Scene + Heard was born. In its inaugural year (2016) Scene + Heard saw 85 pieces of new work being showcased to an audience of 4,800 people. By 2024 the festival had grown to 109 new works spanning all genres and attracting an audience of 11,270.
We support new practice by artists at all stages of their careers. Applications for the Scene + Heard Festival come from a range of artists – those emerging from training and wishing to put on their first show, those more established artists who want to trial new ideas for audiences to input & feedback on, and artists established mid-career who would like to move from one art-form or one role to another (actor to director, director-writer, trial of new or multi-disciplinary art forms). We accept submissions across all genres – music, comedy, theatre, dance, poetry, puppetry, children’s theatre, drag, circus, visual art etc provided the work is an original and adventurous idea never before staged.
