Make Create More is a theatre-led creative studio building participatory performances, workshops, residencies, and tools.
We partner with individuals and institutions who want to envision solutions alongside their communities.
Whether you’re an artist, a community leader, a PRESENTER, or someone simply craving more making in your life, we’d love to collaborate.
Who We Serve
Community-Serving Organizations
We partner with organizations committed to public good to design creative residencies, strategic planning processes, and imaginative engagement initiatives that bring people together. Our arts-based work helps groups spark connection, build momentum, communicate ideas, and envision solutions rooted in their community’s needs.
Artists & Not-Yet-Artists
We nurture creative workers as essential contributors to community life — providing tools and trainings that help you make the work only you can make and sustain a creative life that nourishes you. Our offerings create space for clarity, confidence, and creative momentum, whether you’re building a new practice, returning after a pause, or simply longing to make more.
Presenters, Producers & Arts Institutions
We partner with theatres, arts centers, and producing organizations to bring tour-ready performances, participatory experiences, and imaginative engagement programs to their communities. Our creative collaborations are bold, rigorous, and easy to produce — making it possible to present work that inspires conversation, deepens connection, and stays with audiences long after they leave the space.
Welcome to the studio...
Make Create More is an interdisciplinary creative studio led by playwright and choreographer Catherine Stewart and powered by an evolving collective of artists working across performance, movement, film, music, visual art, technology, and experimental practice. Together, we design performances, learning experiences, and community-based processes rooted in collaboration, rigor, and imagination.
Our studio model allows us to bring the right team to each project — grounding the work in shared values and a commitment to meaningful impact. It is a space built on trust and creative generosity, where artists deepen their craft, expand their skills, and collaborate to make work that serves communities.
Our artists are freelancers with expansive professional lives — moving fluidly between disciplines, sectors, and communities. We value this independence: it keeps our practice porous, adaptive, and informed by many perspectives. And we are always eager to meet more artists and learn about the visions that shape their creative paths.

Our Long-Term Initiatives
We approach creativity as a tool for systems change — building multi-year bodies of work that respond to the challenges shaping our world. Each of our projects are tied directly to at least one of these research and policy fields.
Climate, Ecology & Community Resilience
We collaborate with communities to explore how creativity can support adaptation, connection, and collective imagination in the face of ecological change. Through place-based performance, dialogue, and long-term partnership, this initiative helps people make meaning, build resilience, and envision the futures they want to inhabit.

Creative Workforce Equity & Cultural Futures
Artists and cultural workers shape the stories, meaning, and movements that define our public life. This initiative strengthens the systems around them—supporting equitable labor practices, values-centered structures, and creative ecosystems where artists and organizations can thrive, and society follows.
