Call for commissions
Push the Boat Out
Anthropocene: The Human-Altered World Push the Boat Out, Edinburgh’s International Poetry Festival, is inviting proposals for three new poetry-led performance pieces for its 2025 festival. Supported by the National Theatre of Scotland, three £1,500 commissions, along with development support, will be awarded to artists or groups of artists responding to the environmental theme Anthropocene: The Human-Altered World. Artists are encouraged to explore the profound impact humans have had on the planet, examining how the things we’ve created have transformed our world, and even our own bodies, in potentially irreversible and unexpected ways. Possible areas of focus include microplastics, forever chemicals, waste, and the built environment. We welcome innovative works that push the boundaries of poetry and intersect with other art forms, helping to create a powerful, multidisciplinary showcase of responses to this urgent theme. The commissioned pieces will be performed at Push the Boat Out Festival at the Pleasance Theatre in November 2025. This marks the third year of collaboration between Push the Boat Out and the National Theatre of Scotland, creating opportunities to develop and showcase longer poetry-led pieces through commissions and performances. Any artist living and working in Scotland who works in poetry or a related art form is eligible to apply. Submissions are particularly welcomed from artists working in any of Scotland’s indigenous languages or in BSL, and from individuals under-represented in the literature sector. Proposals for works already in progress will be considered if they closely align with the theme, provided their first presentation takes place at Push the Boat Out Festival in November 2025, at the Pleasance Theatre. For more details and to apply, please see our website.
