The Junction: a day of creative connections, chat and collaboration for anyone involved in live arts.
This is not your average networking day. This is about sharing knowledge, bashing through barriers and keeping festival culture fresh and inclusive.
Created in collaboration with Brighton Fringe, Brighton Festival, Marlborough Productions and Producer Gathering, this one-day event brings together independent artists, producers, programmers and festival organisers for a big old creative chinwag. We’re talking discussion panels, open conversations, idea sharing, and space to get inspired – or plot your next show.
From funding fears to programming dreams, we’re unpacking it all. And yep, there’s lunch… and possibly sequins.
Expect smart ideas, friendly faces and a good dose of giddy energy as we dive into big questions such as:
– How do we programme with purpose?
– What does it mean to take creative risks?
– And can networking actually be… fun?
There’ll be plenty of time to chat with, swap contacts and get your questions answered by a range of arts industry big cheeses from Brighton Fringe, Brighton Festival, Producer Gathering & Marlborough Productions – plus other regional arts organisations and festivals.
Industry expert speakers include Lucy Davies, CEO, Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival; Amaya Jeyarajah Dent, Interim Artistic Director, LIFT; Robin Deacon, Artistic Director, SPILL Festival; Jessica Greer, Festival Producer, Dance Umbrella; Clive Lytlle, Artistic Director, Certain Blacks & Without Walls Artistic Directorate; Ellie Liddell-Crewe, Senior Producer, Live Events at Wellcome Collection; and Elizabeth Zeddie Lawal, Independent Producer – More Than A Moment.
Whether you’re a seasoned producer, a first-time Fringe performer or somewhere in between, this event is for you.
