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.
Titilola Dawudu is the Associate Dramaturg at the Bush Theatre, heading up the Literary department. She works with the Artistic Director and Associate Artistic Director to commission and nurture news plays and ideas, working closely with writers, managing writing groups and the talent development pipeline.
Titilola was the dramaturg for an early iteration at Ovalhouse of Tyrell Williams’s award-winning play Red Pitch. She dramaturgically supported some of the RSC’s 37 Plays winners, most notably Dreaming and Drowning by Kwame Owusu.
Titilola co-created and edited Hear Me Now Audition Monologues for Actors of Colour with Tamasha, published by Oberon Books. Hear Me Now Volume Two was published in August 2022 by Methuen Drama. As a writer, Titilola has written for Theatre Royal Arojah in Abuja, Nigeria, Theatre Peckham, Ovalhouse, Beyond Face and Soho Theatre.
