ABOUT US
We are an exciting production company that produces live and digital events in Music, Film, TV, immersive content, Dance and Theatre across Bath Spa University. We bring together the Schools of Art, Film and Media and the School of Writing, Publishing and the Humanities with the Bath School of Music and Performing Arts through events, talks, workshops, festivals, productions and much more through our extensive programme of activities. All of this is based at Bath Spa University, engaging current students, alumni, staff, and professionals associated with the university.
Our aim is to connect students and graduates to the industries in which they are trained in. Students and graduates work with professional film and theatre directors, choreographers, writers, musicians, film and theatre companies, venues and music promoters – developing their networks for their future careers. We aim to bridge the gap between university study and the working industry by offering development opportunities that allow students to work in established venues, collaborate with experienced freelancers, and take their work into the real world. We do this with the support of our in-house Audience Experience and Development team, Bath Spa Live, who host a range of events throughout the year, and support us in engaging with the public through marketing, sales and developed experiences.
We work on many projects each year, including our largest event, SparkFest, a five-week celebration of the emerging talent across Bath Spa University's School of Music and Performing Arts. SparkFest promises a fresh look at how early career talent engages with Bath audiences and the region’s artistic and business community. SparkFest is always a highlight of our year, and it just keeps growing! Want to find our more? Visit the SparkFest website.
OUR WORK
Over the years, we have produced a variety of exciting works with students, alumni, staff and associated artists. Just to name a few, we've worked on:
-
co-productions with TV companies;
-
site-specific work at Glastonbury;
-
work at major venues like Theatre Royal Bath;
-
providing audio for films shown at the Cannes film festival;
-
co-productions with dance or theatre companies.
Above all, we work to promote students’ work, so that in their final year, whether they are promoting their band’s tour, broadcasting a sit-com or presenting their work as part of SparkFest, they do so with all the support of a professional production company.

"The support from Bath Spa Productions has been vital to my career and development as an artist over the last 8 years as a graduate. The In-kind support of rehearsal rooms, mentoring, equipment hire, venue hire and performance opportunities has saved me thousands of pounds in costs, allowing me to lower my risk and seek opportunities that may not have otherwise been possible. Most of all, the sense of community post-graduating has given me a grounding and sense of purpose. It has made me feel valued in the performance sector and allowed me to create and sustain my theatre company which has toured Europe and around the UK."
