ABOUT
Demystify what happens after the festival: how a Fringe season becomes a touring show, what presenters look for, and how artists build relationships that lead to future bookings.
Focus on realistic pathways and first steps rather than aspirational case studies alone. Also discuss how the realities of tours impact you inside your practice, are you the artist who is better with a 3-day season than a touring season? Or a singular experimental show?
Arrive (free tea & coffee):1:30PM - 2PM
Break down the grant-writing process for independent artists: where to find funding, how to structure a strong application, and common reasons applications are knocked back.
Aim to leave artists with a checklist or takeaway framework, not just inspiration.
