Bush Link-Up

A way for theatre creatives to meet and make connections

Bush Link-Up is a way for writers, directors, producers and other theatre creatives to meet and make connections through group chats in a welcoming environment.

At the Bush we know amazing things happen when creatives get together, but it’s not always easy to get to know new people in theatre. So we’re piloting a new way for writers, directors, producers and other creatives to meet up virtually or in person, hosted by members of the Bush’s artistic team including the Bush’s Associate Dramaturg Titilola Dawudu.

It’s going to be relaxed and informal way to chat in small groups to like-minded artists and hopefully find potential collaborators for the ideas you’re cooking up.


Bush Link-Up is free, but booking is essential.

Upcoming events:

In person: Monday 11 March, 5.30pm

If you would like to join us after the in person Link-Up for the performance of Shifters at 7.30pm on Mon 11 Mar, you will get £2.50 off your ticket! (Discount automatically applied at checkout when booking for both events.) There is a post-show Q&A with director Lynette Linton and creative team after this performance.
