an international, biennial festival
A year-round sector support organisation
we exist to position Scotland as the place to create and experience radical performance.
Rooted in Glasgow and working internationally, we provide a crucial support structure and platform for Scotland’s most vital artists, and showcase some of the world’s leading contemporary performance makers.
Where we’re coming from
Take Me Somewhere emerged in response to the closure of The Arches in 2015, a space that shaped a generation of artists and audiences. Take Me Somewhere was founded in 2016 as a focused intervention: to sustain international exchange, support established Scotland-based performance artists to meet their ambitions working and presenting in Scotland and ensure the country remained connected to cutting-edge global practice.
The organisation was founded in 2016 by Jackie Wylie, now Artistic Director of the National Theatre of Scotland. Since 2017 it has been led by Artistic Director LJ Findlay-Walsh. Meet the rest of the team here.
