The Incubator is the egg’s idea development programme. It has one function – putting brilliant plays in front of audiences.

How does it work?

Our aim is to deepen the quality of art that is available for young people, and to inspire our theatre makers to think about children and their place in our society differently. We hope we do this by giving artists space, time and support to think and conceive.

We don’t look for emerging or established artists in particular. We are passionate about good, new, original ideas. Therefore, we’re drawn to voices that are unheard, stories that are untold, people who are not represented. We need new people, telling new stories, in new ways.

Our artist support is tailored to meet the requirements of the idea we are developing. We hold artists by giving them the space, time, money and resources – to develop their idea.
