Make and maintain relationships – ‘Take time to build links and relationships.’ Ask people for coffee, ask them about themselves, and not just for advice that helps you. ‘It’s important to keep it going and not just use them when you need them. They remember you for that.’
Developing key relationships with, general people, artists, and funders knowing what kind of work sparks up important conversations (dependent on your interest or area you work in?)
Considering your audience and not just producing work that appeals to your own taste is key,
Be specific; research partners that share your values, aesthetics & politics. Everyone can tell generic emails/invitations
Invest in relationships, not projects – the relationships you build now might not have an ‘outcome’ for several years
Build a shorthand; understand & communicate your and your partner’s interests and priorities, then when the right fund/opportunity presents itself you can move quickly
Find ways to visit Festivals & organisations; add an R&D line to your DYCP / Arts Council applications
Don’t force it; when the stars align it should feel easy & move like lightning
Understanding the visa process
Accessibility is considered in any international work that you are touring or producing.
You can’t underestimate the length of time it takes to set up an international project.
Audience reach – think about demographics, themes of your projects, data, evaluation and statistics are important.
Scheduling – Building in time together when touring a show internationally
Outreach – understanding the global context of a community
