Artist Development

Workbound Workshop Tour - Photo By Geoff Crawford

Half Moon has always invested in the development of artists, offering routes into the industry for young people from diverse backgrounds and opportunities for early and mid-career artists to create boundary-pushing performances for young audiences. Below we profile important programmes from Half Moon’s history of Artist Development, focusing on training courses for facilitators and technicians from the 1980s & 1990s and a 2001 conference about accessible theatre-making. We also detail Half Moon’s flagship artform development programme, Exchange for Change, from 2004 to the present day and all the performances that we created as part of it, including a recent iteration, Narratives of Empathy and Resilience.
