Click here to view this email in your browser Hello  I hope everyone has been enjoying festival season. It has been wonderful to see so many amazing shows leading the way in re-engaging audiences, and providing joyous, wonderful high points to our summer. Here at Articulation we are delighted that the Scottish Outdoor Arts Index, and the recording from the Scottish Outdoor Arts Platform, are now available to download and view. We hope that these continue to connect artists and companies with programmers, promoters and venues. We would love it it you could help us to share these far and wide. We are also partnering up with the Touring Network on a great new initiative to bring new exciting and bold work to the Highlands. And we equally excited to be partnering with Aerial Edge for the Circus Rigging & Safety Technical Symposium. (More about both offers below). And we would love to hear your news too. Please do send us any info you have about upcoming shows, jobs, workshops, and other opportunities. All the best and stay safe.

SCOTTISH OUTDOOR ARTS INDEX We are delighted that the Scottish Outdoor Arts Index 2021 is now available to download. In this edition you will find artists and companies with outdoor work available to tour, promoters and venues looking to programme outdoor work, and arts professionals with capacity and skills to offer. As we emerge from Covid restrictions, the outdoor arts sector has led the way in enabling and encouraging people to enjoy live performance. The creativity, enterprise and courage that artists have shown in creating and adapting performances for the various levels of restrictions is testament to Scotland’s rich and diverse outdoor sector. We hope that this publication will continue to connect artists, companies, promoters and individuals over the next year, and to sustain, nurture and encourage the emerging appetite for outdoor work.
