Launchpad is a new 2-year Imaginate project providing mentoring and producing support to artists in the early stages of their careers. We are now looking for two artists interested in making theatre and/or dance for young audiences who feel they would benefit from Launchpad which will include:
- a small budget to create a new scratch idea
- a place in our next Scratch That! event at the Traverse Theatre
- mentoring and producing support from the Imaginate team
- Go & See funding to see high quality productions
Download our Launchpad Guidelines for more information about what kind of artists we are looking for and how the selection process will happen. The selection panel is:
Niroshini Thambar - Freelance sound artist/Accelerator Artist 2018
Pete Lannon - Freelance theatre maker/Accelerator Artist 2018
Jo Timmins - Artistic Director, Lyra
Noel Jordan - Festival Director, Imaginate
Fiona Ferguson - Creative Development Director, Imaginate
Launchpad will run in parallel with our Accelerator project ensuring those at an early stage of their careers can access the young audiences sector in Scotland.
Launchpad is funded by the Garrick Charitable Trust which focus on supporting actors, directors, writers, musicians, composers and choreographers in the early stages of their careers.
