Tapestry Electric is a UK-registered charity that harnesses creativity across arts, gaming, and performance to forge connections and create shared experiences that inspire collaboration, self-expression, and stronger communities.

Our vision is for creativity to be a force that bridges the digital and physical worlds, weaing together different artistic disciplines — building inclusive, joyful spaces where people connect, belong, and thrive.

Young people today are immersed in technology that opens up extraordinary possibilities for creativity, learning, and connection. Tapestry Electric exists at the forefront of exploring those possibilities — where dance, music, performance, and gaming meet to spark collaboration, imagination, and new pathways for creative and professional growth. At the same time, we recognise that the same digital spaces that inspire can also isolate. Our work uniquely positions us to address those challenges, using creativity as a bridge between online and real-world community.

Our early productions set the tone for Tapestry Electric’s boundary-pushing approach. FURY reimagined Mad Max: Fury Road as a live ballet, bringing the energy of cinema into new spaces and introducing dance to fresh audiences. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we launched a home-creation commissions programme supporting artists to make new work remotely, and produced Fly Me to the Moon — a short dance film celebrating resilience and imagination, created in collaboration with Grammy Award–winning musicians including Ledisi. That spirit continues in FRAY — a groundbreaking transmedia project where theatre, gaming, and digital play meet to create bold new forms of connection.

These milestones shaped the Tapestry Electric ethos — bold cross-arts collaboration, inventive use of technology, and a belief in creativity as a catalyst for connection and community. Today, we continue to expand that vision through performances, battles, game jams, workshops, and digital platforms — creating spaces where people can connect, explore, and thrive.

Our core team works alongside a growing network of dancers, musicians, choreographers, game designers, spoken word artists, and creative technologists, together with cultural and community partners. Each project brings new voices into the mix — crossing boundaries, blending disciplines, and sparking connections that push creativity in unexpected directions.

Kate founded Tapestry Electric to bring dance, music, visual arts, and gaming together in bold new ways — creating shared experiences that connect people through storytelling, creativity and play. With a background in filmmaking, stage design, and cross-disciplinary production, she has led projects across live performance, digital platforms, and interactive storytelling.

Accessibility, inclusion, and safeguarding are central to Tapestry Electric’s mission.

We are committed to ensuring that everyone — regardless of age, background, or ability — can take part in and benefit from our work. Our projects create space for underrepresented and marginalised voices, supporting artists and communities to share their stories and shape the future of creative expression.
