Wild Arts

In a few short years, Wild Arts has garnered a string of 5-star reviews and audience acclaim for its performances. The company brings the most exciting up-and-coming and established singers, the finest players, and the most innovative directors together to create exceptional performances at over 70 extraordinary spaces across the UK each year.

Wild Arts believes that the magic happens in the marriage between the space, the singers, the players and the audience. The aim is for immediacy and storytelling – performances that are organic, wild and true to the place in which they are performed. No two performances are the same. Wild Arts travel everywhere in the UK, bringing music and opera to audiences.

Wild Arts works with hundreds of primary school students every year, offering a diverse programme of workshops and performances in connection its annual summer opera, as well as dynamic and engaging lesson plans, young performer spotlight opportunities, and online resources to aid teachers.

The Emerging Artist Programme nurtures new talent. Several musicians each year are given the opportunity to hone their craft in a professional production setting – gaining confidence through vocal, language, and acting coaching and through rehearsals and performances with an experienced ensemble of established artists. There are also paid opportunities for young directors, conductors, stage managers, designers, and producers.

Wild Arts creates world-class music that keeps within the planet’s limits. The charity developed its strategies alongside the Theatre Green Book – with a renewable approach to travel, food, energy use, and partnerships. Where others have grand sets, Wild Arts focuses on costume and the magnetism of the performers; where others have lorries full of equipment, Wild Arts has the boot of an electric car.
