Applause is committed to working with a wide range of artists, reflecting the diverse landscape of modern life.
This might be touring existing ready-made shows to community spaces, commissioning new shows for outdoor performance, or helping to adapt shows to work in a variety of settings.
Rural touring is unique, it offers the opportunity to tour your work to new audiences who might otherwise not experience these shows, providing an incredibly special atmosphere.
It also presents challenges with limited technical provision, and potentially long distances with no public transport to reach isolated communities.
Interested? Take a look at the opportunities below and then go to Eventotron to register information about your show.

Working with Applause was a massively positive experience. The Applause commission gave me producing, creative and marketing support as well as introducing me to ways of developing my ideas for the outdoors.
