Artist Breakfasts at Start The Bus

Alongside all the treats in the festival programme (see www.mayfestbristol.co.uk), here's a 'heads up' about the Artist Breakfasts that Mayfest and Theatre Bristol are organising as part of this year's festival. They're free and they're at Start The Bus (complete with coffee and croissants). Here's some info:

How To…know when you’ve had a good idea and what to do about it in a cruel, cruel world
Adam Gent, Tanuja Amarasuriya, Katie Keeler
Theatre Bristol
Wed 6th, 10am – 12pm, Free

Do you have a brilliant idea that the world doesn’t know about? Do you kill off your ideas the minute you start talking about them and before they’ve had chance to grow? Are you waiting for the world to knock at your door?Well, it might, but in the meantime, join the Theatre Bristol Producers to talk about good ideas, how to articulate them and how to develop them further.

How To…go international
Andrew Jones, British Council
Wed 13th, 11am – 1pm, Free
From networking and the initial approach to promoters through to the wider artistic and practical considerations involved, this session aims to provide a warts and all overview of international touring and the ways UK practitioners can maximise the opportunities to present their work overseas.

Andrew Jones is currently a Drama and Dance Adviser for the British Council; specifically working in Central & Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and Central Asia. Prior to joining the Council, Andrew was Co-Artistic Director of the multi-award winning Volcano Theatre Company.
