EPAD Platform
We are pleased to announce EPAD Platform our new online initiative that gives Edinburgh’s professional independent performing arts practitioners a place to share their work with peers from the city’s performing arts community. It will take place on Zoom.
EPAD Platform is a safe online place for the presentation of creative ideas. It can be used in whatever way practitioners need to sustain their creative practice. Ways it could be used include:
Performing a reading of scenes or excerpts from a new play, some poetry or other writings;
Giving a short workshop or to present learning from a recent activity or project for the benefit of others;
Talking about your work or a project you would like others to get involved in;
Presenting some choreography, animation, puppetry or other performance work that you are developing and on which you would like feedback;
Testing out how well the online format works for any interactive work you are developing;
Provoking an audience in response to your current thinking or ideas that you would like to take forward.
Please follow this link to find out more about EPAD Platform and then use this short form to apply.
This is a paid opportunity and, like all EPAD opportunities, it is non-competitive and will be programmed through a process of random selection from all eligible proposals.
We particularly welcome proposals from people who identify as BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic), as having a disability, as being d/Deaf, or as having any other protected characteristics.
Through EPAD Platform we aim to make the work of Edinburgh's independent performing artists, producers and freelance practitioners visible to the city's wider cultural community and to provide an environment for respectful peer to peer feedback and support. It is part of our work in response to the findings of our recent Covid Impact Survey, which highlights the need for greater advocacy and opportunity for the city's independents.
