"The visit to Bronks with Imaginate was an invaluable introduction to international work for young audiences. Not only was I exposed to the work of European companies and artists at the top of their game--some of whom I've stayed in touch with over the past year--but I forged brilliant connections and grew closer to the other Scottish artists in the Imaginate delegation. It's the experience that really made me feel a part of the community of theatre-makers for young audiences." Jim Manganello, Bronks Export/Import Festival November 2018

The panel for this opportunity is:

Hannah Venet - freelance choreographer/performer
Kirsty Robertson - Schools Project Manager (Imaginate)
