If you have a contemporary performance- or installation-based show you’d like to tour on a major international platform, this is the opportunity for you!

• Works in English, or with English subtitles, or without words.
• Diversity, including Indigenous artists, Deaf artists, artists with disabilities and culturally diverse artists.

The nitty-gritty:

• The application deadline is January 30, 2020.
• Your work must comply with the technical requirements of the venue (see technical rider).
• You must be able to attend technical rehearsals in Edinburgh as early as July 29, 2020.
