PRODUCER GATHERINGS
Sally Rose and Xavier De Sousa
Sally Rose and Xavier de Sousa return to host two Producer Gatherings at The Traverse cafe during Edinburgh Fringe. This year they are joined by producer’s Emma Beverley and Jen Smethurst who are both producing shows that are part of the Edinburgh Fringe programme this year: Selina Thompson - Salt, Northern Stage, 2.30pm, Katy Baird - Workshy, Summerhall, 9.10pm, Louise Orwin - A Girl and A Gun, Summerhall, 6pm and Sh!t Theatre - DollyWould, Summerhall, 9:15pm.
Following on from discussions during Edinburgh Fringe 2016, and in London as part of The Sick of the Fringe festival in 2017, these conversations will provide a welcoming chance to meet other producers and artists and to share ideas around working sustainably and accessibility - particularly within the fringe context. There will also be time to reflect on strategies for a successful fringe, and to take some time out to think beyond the fringe.
Bloody Marys and Virgin Marys will be provided, and don’t worry if you can’t make it along - notes and action points will be shared on line from each meeting.
These sessions will be led by:
