Announcement of new partnership!

We are more than thrilled to have announced our new London production, Fabulous Creatures, which will be opening at the trailblazing Arcola Theatre on the 22nd of May! 

This production also marks the beginning of our partnership with acclaimed executive producer and social entrepreneur Elizabeth Filippouli.

As a journalist Elizabeth has worked at Al Jazeera English, CNN International and in Greek media. Among other achievements, Elizabeth is the Founder of the non-profits Global Thinkers Forum and Athena40, supporting women and youth through mentoring and public conversations.

In 2023 Elizabeth adapted and produced ‘Alexander the Great-Between Dreams and Imagination’, a play deconstructing the idea of greatness in leadership, presented in the British Library for three sold-out performances. She works on artistic projects that offer new perspectives on established ideas.

Filippouli’s book ‘From Women to the World-Letters for a New Century’ was published by Bloomsbury in July 2021. It brings together the voices of diverse women in a collection that features Booker-prize nominated Elif Shafak, activist June Sarpong OBE, journalist Mariane Pearl, entrepreneur Annabel Karmel MBE, economist Vicky Pryce, film director Shamim Sarif, actress/activist Yasmine Al Massri, businesswoman Anousheh Ansari and others drawing attention to gender equality, homelessness, war, LGBTQ+ rights, mental health and other pressing social issues.

Her studies include MA on Journalism & Media, from City University London, MBA Strategy & Innovation from Oxford’s Said Business School and Masters of Liberal Arts in Creative Writing, Harvard University.

“Elizabeth encapsulates all the great values we cherish as a company: the dynamism and boldness, the international angle and the Greek heritage, the powerhouse creativity. It’s a joy to have her on board and to be working together in taking Collide into our 2nd decade of creative ventures”

Emily Louizou - Artistic Director & Founder of Collide

We are looking forward to working with Elizabeth on bringing Fabulous Creatures to life!
