What to expect from your in-person pitch session
Your session is a chance to share your work in a live, conversational setting. You’re welcome to bring your team or have one person speak on behalf of the project, whatever best represents your work. There’s no expectation of a formal presentation; this is about giving us insight into you, your rōpū, and your mahi.
Here’s what we’re interested in hearing:
Tell us about your team
Share your company name, who is involved, and the roles within the project. We’re interested in the skills, experience, and perspectives your collaborators bring, and a sense of where people sit in their practice, whether emerging, established, or somewhere in between.
Tell us about your show
Describe the work you’re proposing and its current stage of development. What is the core idea or driving force behind it? Why is now the right time for this project? We’re also keen to understand how your work aligns with BATS’ values, kaupapa, and strategic direction.
Staging and Technical
Give us an overview of any ideas you have around set, design, and technical elements. This doesn’t need to be fully resolved, just enough to understand the scope and ambition of the work.
You’re welcome to share anything else that helps bring your project to life, this could include excerpts, references, or simply speaking to what excites you about the work.
Above all, be yourselves. This is an opportunity for us to get to know the people behind the project, so keep it relaxed, be creative, and don’t put too much pressure on yourselves.
