mid*point: Festivals – an event for performance-makers in the West Midlands

mid*point presents FESTIVALS

A special event for performance-makers in the West Midlands

mac, Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham
December 18th, 4pm – 7pm (to be followed by a party at A.E. Harris Building 8pm – 2am!!!)

How do you take part in an arts festival? What are the benefits? What are the do’s and don’ts? How can festivals support artist development?
A panel of guest speakers will share some of their own experiences of running and taking part in festivals. And there’ll be opportunities to ask questions, exchange ideas – and maybe get some advice, too.

Speakers include:

• Matthew Austin (Mayfest)
• Andy Field (Forest Fringe)
• Simone Kenyon, Rosalie White (BAC)
• Mike Tweddle (BE Festival)
• Laura McDermott, Harun Morrison (Fierce Festival)

This event is free, but please contact us by 10 December to book your place.
