Arts D&G

Arts D&G Scotland's largest rural performing arts festival and year-round touring organisation.

Dumfries & Galloway Arts Festival supports people in some of the region’s most rural areas to experience world class performing arts. We bring the best local and national artists to our communities; we invest in our performing artists; introduce our young people to live performance and engage people of all ages, from all walks of life, with our imaginative programme. We are the only region wide pe

rforming arts organisation in Dumfries & Galloway and our work incorporates three key strands: the 10-day Festival, Arts Live - our year round performance programme supporting our regional network of venues, artists and promoters and Stage iT - our youth performing arts project. Our 2021 Dumfries & Galloway Arts Festival, Hame’ll Dae Me, ran from the 16th – 25th July but our year round Arts Live programme features an exciting line up of artists for you to enjoy.

🎭 Physical Theatre at Summerhall, Edinburgh! 🎭

As part of the Dumfries & Galloway Arts Festival 2026, participants joined La Fille Du Laitier and director Jon Lachlan-Stewart for an inspiring workshop exploring physical theatre, movement, and performance-making. ✨

Delivered in partnership with Manipulate Arts, the session brought together artists and theatre-makers from across Scotland for a day of creativity, collaboration, and experimentation!

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, to La Fille Du Laitier for sharing their practice, and to for making the workshop possible. 💛
