Make connections, start conversations.
Pitch Up is an in-person event which provides a platform for venues and artists to pitch ideas, providing space for new partnerships to emerge. By having both venues and theatre-makers pitch what they have to offer and what they're looking for, we aim to foster a more collaborative and open approach than traditional pitching events.
Who can pitch?
- Theatre-makers creating or wanting to create work for and/or with audiences in the South of England
- Cultural organisations wanting to connect with venues & artists
- Organisations supporting under-represented groups or disability projects within the arts
- Arts venues, performance spaces, theatres, or Creative People and Places (CPP) programmes that are based in the South of England (Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex, East Sussex) who have opportunities to they want to engage with artists about.
Pitch Up events invite an open audience made up of theatre makers and other local venues eager to connect and listen to the pitches of the day.
We host Pitch Up events each year in venues across the South East. Our next Pitch Up will be in May 2025 and details will be announced nearer the time.
