Since May, Bristol+Bath Creative R+D has been working with a cohort of fellows and partners to develop their theme of Expanded Performance - exploring liveness and togetherness in theatre, live music and technology. Building on the collective thinking around the subject that has resulted from this work Bristol+Bath Creative R+D are now looking to fund a number of experiences to help bring this knowledge to life. We are looking for ‘prototypes’ that will use technology to deliver new experiences, productions, products or processes.
There is a funding pot of £150,000
We anticipate awarding grants of up to £50,000 (you can apply for less)
The funding is open to individuals, businesses or collaborations based in Bristol or Bath
The production phase will run from March - June 2021
Prototypes will be showcased in Summer 2021
We are looking for ideas that can be developed and replicated internationally
Bristol+Bath Creative R+D are looking to fund prototypes responsive to the Expanded Performance theme that will develop something new. They will use technology to deliver new experiences, productions, products or processes.

We aim to be as inclusive as possible and work to accommodate all access requirements. We will openly discuss and tailor how we do things to support you as best we can.
