We aim to offer opportunities which are as tangible as possible for emerging artists. We’re a tiny little collective ourselves but we don’t believe that doesn’t mean we can do huge things in collaboration with others.

Below are the main opportunities we currently offer artists. We’re fortunate enough to have multiple consistent funders – without whom we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. We’re always looking to expand, and so will always make sure this page is up to date with anything that you can get involved with.

Projection and Captioning Skills for Emerging Creatives

If you have creative needs focusing on or are interested in projection, rendering and captioning for live installation and creative projects – then we’re here for you.

Thanks to funding from Arts Council England, Lift Off Global Network and The Royal Society of Literature, we set out on a year long project to develop our work in projection, rendering and captioning capability as well as build or own in-house equipment list. It’s something we’ve always aimed for but never had the support to actually contribute to new artistic projects and build what we need. This desire to create cost-effective and practical technical solutions to accessibility and interdisciplinary standards for cross-platform creative work, began COMMUNE.

Over the course of a year we held Research and Developments projects at Bush Theatre, Et Cetera Theatre Camden and Omnibus Theatre Clapham to develop and short films and cinema projects to be used both as digital resources and excerpts for live performance. We’ve used a combination of live spaces and these cinematic motifs in order to crossover with the two sources.

You can see more information on our Projects page here – but if you have creative needs focusing on or are interested in projection, rendering and captioning for live installation and creative projects – then let us know. We want to share what we’ve learned with others and are now in a position to support other emerging creatives. These things are often costly, and our mission is to set out to reduce this to as great an extent as possible, or likewise to work on an exchange basis of skills rather than just financial.

Reach out via email at stghostycreatives@gmail.com or social media if you’d like an informal conversation about COMMUNE and about either onboarding our skills onto your project, or potentially contributing to ours! We want COMMUNE to expand, and can’t wait to see where this goes now we have the equipment and skills to back up our ambitions.

Project, Funding and Dramaturgical Feedback

Thanks to the generous funding of Creative Futures and The Royal Society of Literature, we are able to run our artistic/project feedback cycle SIGNALS at three points during the year. Following our receipt of the Literature Matters Award in 2024, we’ve gone on to provide feedback and direct input into the creative projects on 25 different artists and companies – and this is something we’re very grateful for. The open periods of submission are:

  • 1st January – 1st March
  • 1st June – 1st July
  • 1st November – 1st December

If you’re looking for dramaturgical feedback on scripts/manuscripts/screenplays or would like advice on a funding application for an upcoming project or Participation/community based initiative – then we’re here to provide advice on what you need.

Between our wider team of 3 award winning Producers and Writers, we have experience over 10 years moving from grass roots practise into industry panels including West End Programming teams and editorial positions for Literary reviews, working with award winning creative companies such as Graeae Theatre Company, Criterion Theatre, Jermyn Street Theatre, Chimimora Collective and Tamasha Group.

More than anything, we’re focused on people. We want to support interdisciplinary and ambitious work from emerging creatives who don’t see themselves in their industry – and want to offer practical, real world experience from a group of people who likewise have had to grind outside of traditional industry norms.

If you would like a conversation around your project, you can register your interest and, if selected, we will provide you with our feedback within 2-3 weeks of your request. We do this with no cost to you at all.

We’ll tend to prioritise projects we feel more closely align to our experience or that we can be more useful for. We’re largely open to what we receive, and we’ll be honest with you if we don’t think we can be of much use to your endeavour. If we feel we can’t be useful, then we’ll do our best to point you towards people we think will be.

If you would like to receive feedback as part of SIGNALS, and so long as we’re in one of the open periods outlined above – then follow the below instructions. Please bear in mind that if we are not in one of the three open periods outlined above, then you will need to resubmit your request once a new valid period begins (sorry).

So then, instructions:

  • Email stghostycreatives@gmail.com, with the subject line – SIGNALS – *Project name* – *Company/artist name*
  • Give us a summary of you as an artist/company (250 word limit)
  • Provide an introduction on your aim for the project/ piece of work. What would you most like to get out of a completed draft or feedback? (250 words)
  • Then describe your project/piece of work. This can be in as much or as little detail as you want (although we may come back with questions if we’re not 100% sure what you’re after.)
  • We’ll then let you know if you’ve been selected. We don’t have a set number of projects we can support – and this is more dependant on the capacity of our small team. Once selected we’ll reach out organise a call to introduce ourselves, and work towards providing a feedback document and conversation with you with our reflections, practical advice and next steps.

We can’t wait to hear about what you’re working on!

Article/Opinion Piece Rolling Submissions

Mic’d up is our ongoing, open submission period for anyone who wants to share an opinion piece on art or creativity. It could be anything from reviews of your favourite works, your thoughts on the industry or even recommendations for great places out there for creatives to find joy. This is a staple offer of ours, and has been something we’ve managed since first starting St Ghosty.

Here’s a few guidelines:

  • Articles should be between 500 – 1,000 words
  • Title the subject of your email ‘Submission – STG’ and then your name.
  • please include the text of the article itself in the email, rather than as a link or attachment.
  • If you have any questions or require any adjustments to the process in order to submit then please feel free to let us know.
  • We’re also very happy to accept video submissions – these should be between 3-5 minutes long and you’ll need to confirm whether you’d prefer us to share your voice through audio format or if you’d like to transcribe it into a written article.
  • We’re open to other forms of media as well, so if you’re unsure then you can contact us to tell us about what you think might work.

If you have something to share then send it to us at stghostycreatives@gmail.com. If we can share it, then we’ll be sure to let you know and put it on our site!

We can’t share everything we receive, and might decline if we feel it’s not something that fits with our ethos, however you’ll always get a response from us either way.
