A partnership project between The North Wall and Oxfordshire Theatre Makers.

Propeller is an opportunity for Oxfordshire based artists, companies and collectives to fine tune and stage new work for The North Wall 2020 Summer season. The successful company will receive in-kind support from The North Wall; including rehearsal space, technical support and a 3 day run in our theatre with a 50/50 box office split. Propeller was launched in 2019 and hosted the brilliant Kuumba Nia Arts with their production of SOLD, which then went on to the Edinburgh Fringe.

We see Propeller as a stepping stone for your show, rather than an end point and we hope that your show will develop beyond The North Wall. This opportunity would suit (but not limited to):

- Companies looking to preview their show ahead of Edinburgh Fringe (or other festivals)
- Companies at the final stages of R&D
- Companies who are reviving a show
- Companies who are working towards an Autumn tour
