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.

Martin Danziger,
Director, Articulation

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.

THE TOURING NETWORK
SUPPORTED PROGRAMME
Call for Submissions
Articulation are delighted to be a contributor to the Touring Network’s supported programme.

The Supported Programme helps to address the inequality of cultural provision in rural Scotland. Promoters across the region can apply for a bursary to present exciting, bold and experimental work in their communities. The Touring Network can provide up to 75% of the show’s overall fee, with the remainder covered by the promoter and/or ticket sales of the event. The Supported Programme will be selected by the promoters themselves during a panel discussion later in the year. The selected artists will be offered an opportunity to showcase at The Gathering event in 2022.

CRITERIA:
  • The work is tour-ready or already on tour and looking to extend the tour route to rural regions
  • The work is one of the following art forms: Theatre, Dance, Comedy, Gaelic, Alternative Music, Spoken Word, Circus, Outdoor or Site-Specific Arts, Family or Children’s Theatre
  • The work has at least a four-month lead-in from the date of the Promoter’s Panel meeting
  • Artists must be adaptable to varied types of venue
  • Artists must be willing to be involved with networking and showcasing opportunities - the latter will be paid for
  • Artists must not already be supported by Creative Scotland Touring Fund (although you can apply for an extension of a tour previously funded by CS).

HOW TO APPLY
To apply, please send expressions of interest and touring packs to Martin Danziger – martin@articulationarts.org. Please ensure you include fees, availability, whether it is an extension of a tour or has had previous funding.
Deadline for Submissions: 20th Sept 2021

THE TOURING NETWORK BIG MEET UP
7th October
Involved or interested in rural touring? Dip into a day of fun and creativity as we talk, listen, share, make, walk and dream.

More of a warm hug than a conference, this virtual event will allow a collective sigh of relief. Drop-in sessions on hot topics, creative networking opportunities, guest speakers, fun activities and more than a few surprises along the way. Everyone welcome. Booking closes on Monday 27th September.

The event will be hosted on Qiqo Chat - like Zoom with extras - which means you'll have options and flexibility to make the most of your day. As well as programmed activities and guided discussions, there will be social spaces for you to hang out and lots of opportunities to catch up with old pals and make new ones.
