Activate Performing Arts is a Dorchester-based organization that promotes, supports, and produces performing arts projects within communities. For more than thirty years, it has brought high-profile performances to unconventional venues, including town centres, village squares, beaches and hilltops, with a focus on outdoor presentations. The group aims to remove barriers to access and engage broad audiences while honoring the local landscape and sense of place. In this context, it operates as an outdoor-arts producer within the wider performing arts sector, collaborating with partners to create and present projects.

Based in Dorchester, Dorset, the organization operates as a small to mid-sized player in the regional outdoor arts sector. In 2024 it partnered with the National Landscapes Association to run two free artists' residencies, illustrating its commitment to supporting artistic creation in landscape contexts.
