Workshop

Market development and mobility: The long game

  • When:
  • 2pm - 4pm
  • Where:
  • In Person
Thinking through how and where you might find connections for your work beyond your own community. 

This workshop is suitable for producers with 3 + years experience in producing. 

In this session, we will look at market development and mobility – thinking through how and where you might find connections for your work beyond your own community.

How do you structure a long-term relationship-based approach to underpin your ambitions for mobility?

What are the essential tools you need to go about it?

We’ll talk regional, national and international, and look at how residencies and collaborations fit in alongside traditional touring.

Plus there will be plenty of time for open Q&A.
