Live Presentation 2023
Horizon is looking to support ‘Tour Ready’ live performance projects to be presented at the Edinburgh Festivals in August 2023
Selected performances will be supported to appear at the Edinburgh Festivals for approximately 7 days during one week in August to an audience of curated Horizon international delegates and the general public.
We want to use this opportunity to significantly rejuvenate and impact the existing ecology of the live performance sector across England and seek to support artists/companies who are well positioned to help us achieve this.
Horizon’s key objective is to catalyse international touring opportunities and international conversations for artists based in England. This will be achieved through carefully curated introductions between international presenters and delegates, and Horizon’s supported artists.
