Déda OffSite Programme – Outdoor Arts Development

OffSite Year 3 – Outdoor Arts Development

2019 sees the return of the OffSite programme, aiming to build on our success over the last two years and encourage further development of the outdoor performance sector across the Midlands.

This year’s programme has been established based on feedback from the sector. It will offer further opportunities for artists/producers/practitioners based in the Midlands who are interested in, working in, or who are currently developing work for an outdoor context.

Offsite also offers opportunities for venues/festivals/events across the region the chance to come together to share knowledge and resources - whilst pin pointing challenges, within the regional sector and identifying how we turn them into opportunities collaboratively.

Over the course of this year’s programme, we look to work with broad range of regional partners to create opportunities that take regional talent to the national and international market place.

The Offsite Year 3 Programme will include:
