We work
with people,
not inventory.
BOOKINGS
DEVELOPMENT
Management should
protect the artist,
not flatten them.
Our role is to understand the artist's practice, ambitions and boundaries, then help build the right working opportunities around them—from bookings and commissions to new collaborations and longer-term development.
We work across musicians, live acts, performance artists, choreographers, sound designers and multidisciplinary practitioners, with space for both commercial opportunities and more experimental work.
What sits behind the booking.
Representation
We present the artist clearly, protect the integrity of their practice and help clients understand what they are actually booking.
Bookings
We handle enquiries, availability, scope, fee conversations and the practical relationship between artist and client.
Development
We look for repeat work, better-fit commissions and opportunities that help an artist grow rather than simply fill a date in the diary.
Creative Collaboration
We can develop new work with the artist, restage existing acts or bring them into wider creative direction, set, performance and event concepts.
Production Support
Where useful, we help connect the artist's work to the production reality: timings, technical needs, rehearsal, staging and on-site delivery.
We came from
underground rooms.
Built from DIY culture.
Abraxas began through self-produced, underground work and a desire to create space for artists who were not being given enough of it.
Nurture the people around the work.
We want the network to become stronger through repeated collaboration, introductions and opportunities—not simply transactional bookings.
Create actual workplaces.
Representation matters, but paid opportunities matter too. The aim is to connect visibility with real work wherever possible.
The artist fee
is part of the work.
Fair Compensation
We advocate for artists to be fairly paid for their time, practice, preparation and delivery.
Clear Scope
We want expectations to be understood before the work begins: performance length, rehearsals, usage, travel, technical needs and any adaptation.
Respect the Practice
We do not treat an artist as decoration added at the end of a project. Their work should have a clear role in the experience.
Longer Relationships
Where a collaboration works, we want to create the possibility of repeat commissions and deeper development rather than a one-off extraction.
Choose the work. Or make something new.
Book what already exists.
We can place an existing live set, performance or act into the right event, venue or programme and manage the practical relationship around it.
Reintroduce it in a new room.
Existing work can be adapted, re-scaled or re-choreographed to respond to a different space while protecting the artist's original identity.
Build something around the brief.
We can develop something bespoke with the artist—from a short intervention to a new performance, sound work or multidisciplinary collaboration.
Make the artist part of the world.
The artist can work inside the wider creative direction, choreography, installation, AV and audience journey instead of appearing as a separate add-on.

Management is the space between opportunity and practice.
A clearer booking.
We help the client understand the artist, the scope, the production needs and what makes the collaboration worth doing.
A protected practice.
We help protect fee, time, boundaries and creative integrity while making the opportunity practical.
A relationship that makes sense.
We hold the translation between both sides so the collaboration can move without reducing the artist to a line item.
