Frantic Assembly: IGNITION
Ignition is Frantic Assembly’s free, nationwide talent development programme for young people aged 16-24, celebrating creativity across the UK.
About the show
In collaboration with Frantic Assembly’s UK wide partners, the programme seeks out under-represented talent in unexpected places, showing young people that the arts can be for them.
Ignition has been discovering and nurturing talent for more than 15 years, working with over 10,000 young people along the way, and successfully providing an introduction and ongoing support to numerous careers within the creative industry. Ignition Graduates have gone on to work as performers, directors, writers, composers, choreographers, designers and many more roles within, and beyond, the Arts.
During September and October 2026, the Frantic Assembly team travel the length and breadth of the UK, meeting young people with little or no access to theatre and introducing them to the Frantic Method of devising. From the hundreds of young people they engage with, 24 are selected for the Ignition Intensive and devise two original performances, within a week.
