NEONELEVATE

NeonELEVATE aims to empower the next generation of creatives, overcome barriers, and achieve a more inclusive and representative creative sector at all levels.

We aim for visible representation across our sectors to counter the “it’s not for us” mindset. A diverse, multidisciplinary creative team (dance, music, costume, drama, scriptwriting, film, photography, art, media, music production, songwriting, event management) will run workshops and mentor 45 young people chosen by audition to create original shows. This gives participants professional experience, ownership, authentic voice, and clear progression into creative-industry roles—performing, artistic direction, costume and music production, choreography, scriptwriting, lighting, stage and event management.

Auditions to be reopened March 2026

“ Neon ELEVATE pushed and challenged me to my limits. Hip hop, teaching, and putting together multiple pieces that suited the storyline pushed my creative mind, alongside the mentoring and trust of Swoosh.”
