Call for Commissions: Push the Boat Out and National Theatre of Scotland
Push the Boat Out
Push the Boat Out, Edinburgh’s International Poetry Festival is looking to support the creation of three new poetry-led performance pieces, responding to this year’s festival theme The Space Between. Who it’s for We invite submissions from artists or groups of artists living and working in Scotland, working in poetry or a related art form. Applications are open to artists at any stage of their career. Submissions are welcome from artists working in any of Scotland’s indigenous languages or BSL, and from people under-represented in the literature sector. What’s involved This opportunity supports the creation of a new poetry-led performance piece of 15–20 minutes in length. Artists will develop their work over several months, with support from both Push the Boat Out and the National Theatre of Scotland. We encourages divergence, exploration and experimentation when responding to The Space Between both in terms of theme and form. We’re using this theme to explore liminal and transitional spaces both physical and metaphorical: from borderlands to dream states to identities which defy categorisation. Environmentally, this theme will offer a lens to consider shorelines. Submissions should clearly outline how they see their relationship to the theme, however, we are happy to consider it as a point of broad inspiration. Artists are invited to form their ideas in a direction that feels in keeping with their practice and speaks to their current intentions for their work. Each commission will produce a new piece to be performed on Sunday 15 November at Edinburgh’s Pleasance as part of our 2026 festival (running 12 – 15 November 2026). For more details and to apply, please see our website.
