Hi there wanderer,

Verve is a new company creating work for the stage and other happenings in the spaces they belong.

  • We ask: what does the idea need? We trust the answer will lead to bold, unique work.

  • We celebrate experimentation and embrace surprise as a catalyst for change.

  • We are committed to connecting artist and audience development by inviting audiences into the creative journey itself.

  • We prioritise artists over product, and platform working-class artists and those historically and currently underrepresented in theatre and arts spaces.

verve was founded in 2025 by Rachel Valentine Smith and we will be announcing projects soon. We are on the look out for collaborators of all kinds so do reach out and say hello!
