We exist to help artists take risks, build impactful work, and share it in-person, online, and around the world.

Artist’s Workshop (AW) is an international arts collective devoted to socially engaged theatre and artist driven original performances. We create captivating new works alongside bold, contemporary adaptations of classic stories—sometimes intimate, sometimes expansive, sometimes lifting bodies into the air—always grounded in human connection. We develop and produce work that lives between disciplines often drawing on live music, dynamic movement, and the aerial arts to create unique productions that embrace artistic risk and experimentation.

Operating across Europe, the UK, and the United States, AW supports artists through development, production, publishing, and education. We are artist-run, project-driven, and community-focused, creating work that illuminates the human experience, sparks artistic passion, and serves our global community.
