Tour Booking with Max Emmerson – Now Online

A beginner's guide to successfully touring a production.

You’ve created a play/performance, done a sharing, redeveloped the work and now you’re ready to send your baby out into the big, wide world.

But what do you do next?

Who do you contact first?
What do venues expect from you?
What is a tour pack and how do you make one?
Who writes the contracts?
What’s a box office split?
Is that better than a guarantee?

We’ll discuss all these questions and more with Producer Max Emmerson.  

This workshop is suitable for artists or makers who are thinking about touring, as well as producers who haven’t planned tours before.  

The workshop is 5-7pm.

Limited places available on this one-stop, practical workshop.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS SESSION WILL NOW TAKE PLACE ONLINE. YOU WILL BE SENT A LINK NEARER THE TIME.
