Putting together your application

You’ll be asked a lot of questions as part of your Festival Hub EOI. In order to program the Hub we need to know a lot about you, your show and your technical and logistical needs. You won’t always have the answers if your work is still at the concept stage, but please provide as much detail as you can manage. The more info we have at this stage, the better we can find you the most appropriate space for your work.

It’s also important to be as flexible as you can in your options (obviously the more flexible you are, the more potential programming spots are available to you) but at the same time, please be clear where your line is. We need to program and lock in 80-100 shows in a very brief period – and to do this we need to know what your ideal programming spots are so we can try to give one to you; but we also want to know what’s in the middle (i.e. what’s not ideal, but you would still accept!) in case we can’t offer your top choices, and – very importantly – we also need to know what you’ll say no to, so we don’t waste your time or ours with an offer that doesn’t suit you or your show.
