Blind Dates 2020
Australian producers / artists – do you want to take your production to regional audiences?
You’re invited to a Blind Date with Regional Arts WA and CircuitWest!
In conjunction with Fringe World Festival, Regional Arts WA and CircuitWest are offering you the chance for a face-to-face chat about the opportunities and challenges of connecting your show with regional audiences. You may also have a chance to speak with a regional WA community presenter and/or venue manager.
Chloe King and Minna Hilton go over some tips for regional touring at Blind Dates 2019. Picture by Susie Blatchford.
You’ll get a coffee on the house and invaluable insights into regional performing arts touring from two of the state’s regionally focused arts organisations.
Each Blind Date is tailored to your needs. Please use our booking form to list in detail what you would like to discuss in relation to your show, your other productions, your company and touring regionally.
