"And in the middle of it there is music. There is always music."
Lepus is a buzzing hive of the exciting and excitable people that inspire us.
To the excitable, excitement comes easily - making things happen is harder. To this end, the infra-structure is vital, and requires the same level of creative thinking from producers as it does from the artists we are lucky enough to work with.
Lepus serves as that infra-structure, finding ways to harness these brilliant people into finished projects - many of you which can learn about on this site. In 2016 we dreamt up an ambitious stage show called Flit. Flit told stories of migration through animation and music. The scale was such that it needed a framework, a network of creative people behind it, on and off the stage.
Now, a few years and many projects later, our little team has grown. The extraordinary energy of the artistic individuals we find fuels us as we search for ways to make, often unfeasible sounding ideas, into realities.
There are actors, directors, dancers, writers, singers, filmmakers, technicians, orchestrators, producers, and many more in our wonderful network now, and it grows with every project.
​
As a Transmedia company we make radio, theatre, music, podcasts, writing, audio dramas, gigs, films and have established Lepus Records to enable us to release these creations across various platforms. Our passion is about finding new audiences every step of the way, and engaging meaningfully with existing audiences who have been with us early on.
And in the middle of it there is music. There is always music.

Lepus Arts: The charity
At Lepus, we believe creativity builds more than projects—it builds careers, confidence, and communities. That's why we launched Lepus Arts, our new charitable arm dedicated to fostering talent.
​
Based in Pathhead, we are currently turning part of the old village church into a creative hub for making, learning, and artistic innovation. Over the next few years, we will be fundraising and developing programmes to build a space that truly serves our creative community.
To make this happen, we need your support. BELOW you can choose to support our artist development strand, help us build the creative space in Pathhead to make new work, develop skills and make magic or you can simply support the charity.
If you're considering any non financial or substantial/recurring donations then please email producer@lepus-arts.com and we can assist you with this.
​
Another way of supporting the charity is simply by buying the art from the Lepus store.
You can get involved and support us make all of this happen —from helping construct the space to championing the artists within it. Join us. Feel free to drop your email below to hear about it all first.​​​​​
