About us

Collusion is an arts organisation; a not for profit company and an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. We nurture collaboration between artists, technologists and academics, employing R&D and playful, practice-led approaches to develop skills and innovative new artworks that captivate the public with novel experiences. We actively harness technology's creative potential and explore its impact on society.

We're inherently collaborative, creating new shared space with artists and other colluders. Our ART // TECH // PLAY partnership supports artists' talent development, working with artists from across the UK and our partners - Cambridge Junction, DanceEast, Norwich Theatre, Anglia Ruskin University, and Norwich University of the Arts, to generate dynamic, imaginative new experiences for the public. We have a production space in King's Lynn, a Levelling Up area. Our work there supports place-making, working with the local council and cultural partners to develop the arts offer and engage audiences, including young people. Additionally, Rachel and Rich, our Directors, are Senior Research Fellows within Norwich University of the Arts' new Creative Technology Research Institute.

Our Values:

• Practice-led Approach: We prioritise playful, practice-led methodologies in all our endeavours.
• Curiosity and experimentation: We nurture curiosity-driven R&D, fostering playful experimentation and embracing risk-taking.
• Collaboration: We believe in playing nicely with others, focusing on mutually beneficial outcomes through collaborative efforts.
• Open-minded engagement: We engage with individuals, organisations, and places that share our enthusiasm and commitment.
• Inclusivity: We actively seek to involve diverse voices, extending our reach to those who may not typically engage.
• Sustainability and hope: We strive to tread lightly on the environment and create pathways of hope for the future of our world.
