Se Gæst | The Guest - A Bold New Production from Anthony Lo-Giudice

Touring 23 September – 11 December, 2025

A powerful new production exploring national identity, belonging and community is set to tour across the North East and beyond this autumn, with funding from North Shields Cultural Quarter. 

Buy tickets for North Shields Fish Quay performance

The tour includes a performance on North Shields Fish Quay on Saturday October 25.

Created by acclaimed choreographer and theatre-maker Anthony Lo-Giudice, Se Gæst | The Guest blends dance, live music and storytelling to pose urgent questions about who we are as a nation — and what it truly means to belong.

Anthony Lo-Giudice is a North East-based artist known for his emotionally charged, visually striking productions that centre on place, people and identity. With a background in dance and theatre, his work has toured nationally and internationally, often rooted in the stories and landscapes of the North East of England. Se Gæst | The Guest is his most ambitious project to date — developed in collaboration with communities across the country.

The production follows the story of a young boy who washes up on the shores of England, prompting a community in turmoil to confront their beliefs about tolerance, blame, nostalgia and the rapidly changing world around them. 

Built from real conversations and interviews with people across England, the piece explores the country’s complex, and often conflicting, feelings around identity and belonging.

“This work is about listening. About the uncomfortable, the conflicted, and the tender parts of what it means to be from somewhere - or to arrive there. Through movement, story, and music, we’re asking: who do we become when we stand together?”
— Anthony Lo-Giudice

Rich with original music, physical performance and raw storytelling, Se Gæst | The Guest is both deeply personal and boldly political. The work invites audiences to reflect on their own place within a shifting national narrative, asking: who are we, where have we come from, and where are we going - together?

Artists' Agency: Useful Stuff for Artists

Being your own CEO

Rachel Adam

As a freelance artist you are juggling many things - you need to be your own CEO, Creative Director, Finance Manager, Delivery Driver and many other things too. Demands of day-to-day delivery can get in the way of you having a vital time to wear your CEO ‘hat’ and think longer term about the bigger picture of your practice.

This workshop creates space for you to reflect on your vision and purpose and what you aim to achieve as an artist. We will explore the values that underpin your work and the goals and priorities you have for the next 1-3 years. Working individually, in pairs and small groups, by the end of the workshop you will have identified your next steps and achievable actions that support your goals.
