​​​Wise Productions LTD is here to ask big uncomfortable questions 

​

We produce productions that are not easily defined by genre

We produce work that, at its core, is to seek profound connections and experiences for our audience

We make work to feel a part of something bigger than ourselves

We produce new work with global themes that resonate across cultures and champion individual stories. 

 

Our work is interdisciplinary, it sits across the intersections of exploring new music; theatre; opera; dance and film.

​

We are dedicated to centring the artist- supporting the development of original ideas, championing distinctive human stories, and nurturing collaborative creative practices. By helping to secure seed investment at the earliest stages of an idea and building long-term partnerships tailored to each project, we collaborate with production companies and individuals to realise work that reflects each production’s unique voice, impact, and requirements. Our mission is to nurture high-quality productions and artistic collaborations over extended periods of development, while building pathways to long-term platforms and international partnerships.

​

Rachel's research for the film Shaping The Arts instigated the understanding that, if we want to improve our world, every person can make a difference to be a part of greater change. To address the lack of Equity-rate paid upskilling and professional development opportunities within the industry, Rachel is committed to embedding paid creative development roles within productions produced by Wise Productions.

​

Since its inception, Wise Productions has produced the documentary Shaping The Arts: The Future of the UK Performing Arts, alongside research and development for the international opera-jazz musical Interludes, by GRAMMY composer Steven Feifke, featuring a new arrangement of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue by Sam Jewison, with choreography by Matthew Ball and Mayara Magri.

​

Interludes R&D engaged 126 creative practitioners for it's collaboration and culminated in an open sharing at Battersea Arts Centre in April 2025, offering free tickets to a relaxed sharing for the local community, with funding from Arts and Humanities Research Council.

​

The production brought together established professionals and emerging artists, including gospel choirs from the University of Birmingham, Lichfield Gospel Choir, and Gospel Revisited, alongside students from Millennium Performing Arts, dancers from The Royal Ballet, and internationally recognised actors and opera singers.​ Filming and production were supported by collaborators Ligatura Films, Black Swan Productions, StayFly Films, and RTAudio.
