About Stoke The Embers
Stoke The Embers is a London-based theatre company, specializing in live events and new writing.
Our goal is to revolutionise access to the performing arts, through programming that champions the creative potential of both emerging and established artists. At our events, artists from multiple performance and technical disciplines can share new ideas, network, and meet their future collaborators.
All of our work is underpinned by the values of Collaboration, Creativity, and Respect.
If you’re a facilitator looking to develop a workshop or a performer looking for a space to explore, be sure to attend one of our events to see if our programming is the right fit for you!
“There’s so much incredible talent out there, and I wanted to build a space where artists, at all levels, can feel free to express theirs!”
- Dela Ruth Hini, Stoke The Embers Founder and Artistic Director

“Stoke The Embers is such a safe place to launch new material. I'm currently an actor in training trying my hand at new creative endeavours such as writing and performing with my guitar. Being able to try new and intimidating things in the presence of like-minded creatives has accelerated my growth in confidence and curiosity! Come along, get a bev and enjoy the wonderful creative vibes that is the 'Stoke the Embers' community.”
