PANDA Announce Three Spotlight On... Events in April
PANDA are delighted to announce three Spotlight On… events coming up in April.
Spotlight On… Special Offers and Discounts
Date: Thursday 10th April 2008, 6.30pm – 9.00pm.
Venue: Gallery Space, Zion Arts Centre, 335 Stretford Road, Hulme, Manchester, M15 5ZA (See map).
Cost: Free to PANDA members / £5 for non-members.
Come and find out about the fantastic range of Special Offers and Discounts available to PANDA members, including great ticket offers at venues, discounts on rehearsal space hire and reduced price membership of other industry organisations.
Join us for a glass of wine and meet some of our partner organisations to find out more about the exclusive deals they can offer you!
We’ll explain exactly how you can take advantage of the Special Offers and Discounts using your new PANDA membership card and show how you can easily make enough savings to pay your PANDA membership fee several times over!
The event is being held at Zion Arts Centre, one of our PANDA partners, so that you can check out the facilities available there if you chose to take them up on their generous offer of 50% discount on venue hire.
This event is also open to non-members at a cost of £5, though we’re sure that by the end of the evening they will want to join PANDA too!
RSVP to Rachel Morton on 0161 274 0626 or email rachel@panda-arts.org.uk to secure your place.
And next we have two Spotlight On… Tour Booking events on the same day, the afternoon session for new and emerging companies and the evening session aimed at more experienced tour bookers.
Spotlight On… An Introduction to Tour Booking
Date: Wednesday 23rd April 2008, 2.00pm – 4.00pm.
Venue: Adelphi House, The Crescent, Salford, M3 6EM (See map).

Getting your work shown as a new company is essential. But how do you go about finding and approaching venues to programme your work? This session will examine tried and tested ways of getting venues interested in your production and will cover some of the practical issues that arise when working with venues such as contracts, insurance and music.
Spotlight On… An Introduction to Tour Booking will be led by Sinead MacManus, a creative business consultant who has worked for a wide range of arts organisations including Mimbre, Frantic Assembly, Tall Stories and movingeast. Sinead is currently CPD Leader at University of Greenwich and a freelance arts consultant, producer and trainer working in the theatre, dance and street arts/circus sectors.
