The imPOSSIBLE Ideas Studio - a creative development agency 

In the imPOSSIBLE Ideas Studio, we make ideas possible.

The studio is our commercial strand - developing ideas that could fly.

The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Shared Prosperity Fund have awarded imPOSSIBLE Producing £220,000 to deliver a 10 month programme (June 2025 – March 2026) consolidating and building on imPOSSIBLE’s work to date to fuel a thriving creative engine of the possible for Cornwall and beyond. You can find out more about the programme here

The imPOSSIBLE Ideas studio seeds great ideas in Cornwall for national and international stages. It develops new performance work across events, theatre and experiences, supporting the best artists locally, nationally and internationally to explore brave new forms and innovative ways to tell stories. The themes explored have universal appeal, challenging and resonating with audiences by interrogating something deeply human.

Each project has the potential to be economically viable, whether through ticket sales, funding or investment. Because of that, across our slate of work we are developing, we are looking for investment in the early stages.
