International Festival Encounters opportunity for Edinburgh artists
International Festival Encounters
EPAD is able to offer TWO half-price places on this year’s International Festival Encounters programme to Edinburgh-based producers and artists. Taking place during the world’s largest international arts festival, the International Festival Encounters programme is run jointly by the Edinburgh International Festival (EIF), the University of Edinburgh and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
This is a great opportunity for any Edinburgh-based producer, programmer, creative artist or performer who wants to develop their artistic entrepreneurship skills and experience to apply to attend this inspiring five-day programme for half the full cost.
Over the five days of the programme, you will immerse yourself in events running at the EIF, engage and network with inspiring artists, directors and producers, and share and reflect critically on your own and others’ artistic practice.
A highlight of the programme will be a series of encounters with leading figures in the arts, including the Edinburgh International Festival Director, Fergus Linehan.
Every element of the programme is tailored towards enabling you to develop the knowledge and skills required to engage with your practice at a higher level.
Participation includes tickets to key EIF events and moderated discussions. There will also be opportunities for participants to present their personal vision in the presence of visiting professionals.
This opportunity is offered jointly by EPAD and EIF.
