Mentoring
The Artists’ Network offers annual mentorship for artists and theatre-makers who are looking to take their work to the next level.
Artists’ Network members looking for support on a particular project or career development goal can apply for mentoring with a member of the Marlowe’s team. The scheme isn’t only for artists – we provide mentoring across all areas of theatre-making, including producing, fundraising and marketing.
If you’re interested in mentoring, sign up to the Artists’ Network today – we’ll announce all future opportunities in our monthly newsletter.

R&D support
The Artists’ Network offers regular financial and practical support to develop new work.
Artists’ Network members can apply for a small grant and use of the Marlowe Studio to develop a new project. To be the first to hear when applications next open, become a member of the Artists’ Network today.
"Being granted the opportunity to undertake this R&D was a truly rewarding experience. The scheme provided the essential platform we needed to collaborate, experiment, and share a raw first look with a live audience. Hearing how the story and music resonated in real time was priceless, and we're deeply grateful for the support that made this vital developmental milestone possible."Phil Hornsey
