ONWARD TOURING

Here & Now nurtures new relationships between artists making contemporary performance in England and international partners.

Alongside the showcase moment in Edinburgh, we work year round to encourage international touring opportunities for the showcased artists.

To date, Horizon and Here & Now have connected 48 artists with 113 festival and venues presenters, resulting in over 40 international presentations, residencies and new commissions.

We've created a series of case studies to share some examples of the different journeys artists have been on since their inclusion in the showcase, how we have helped them, and what it has meant for their careers.

"I love getting a chance to see the work and meet the artists/producers. Even if it's not something I can book right now I'm able to start the relationship, and that's a forever opportunity."

" I can see Here and Now increasing its reputation as the go-to delegate moment for international programmers. The platform positively impacts both the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the reputation of work created in England, which has positive reverberations for the rest of the UK."
