Rapid response 2024 calloutThis is an urgent call to south Yorkshire based theatre and performance-makers…
… What does “Our Home” mean to you?
We’re seeking ‘rapid responses’ that connect with the themes of climate and migration. We want to seed fund new ideas that have the potential to be developed further, elsewhere, and in other contexts.
Proposals should be achievable within a short period of Research & Development commencing in the week beginning 13 June. Selected contributors should be available to share the outcomes of their work as part of an informal sharing event on 21 June.
This callout has now finished. Updates around the 2025 programme will be announced in March 2025.
CREATIVE JOURNEYS: MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
We were proud to lead on our very first Creative Journeys programme in 2021 which supported 11 emerging/aspiring artists to refine and gain valuable insight into their artistic practice. This was showcased on the 15th July 2021 as part of the festival programme.
Please look out for more mentorship and guidance opportunities for aspiring artists in 2024.
Generously supported by Arts Council England
