NSDF: THE BIG RESET will be a nationwide event in APRIL 2023. We will hold events across the country, allowing for greater access to theatre makers more locally. We will still host brilliant work submitted to us, we will still create art together and we will still share knowledge, but this is a reset for NSDF. Across the week we will bring together young theatre makers (actors, directors, technicians, producers, choreographers, designers, everyone involved in making theatre), and key industry bodies to continue asking the question, what do young theatre makers need to create sustainable careers in this industry? During this week we will listen to attendees and learn from you all, the most useful format for NSDF, whether in the festival week, year-round or into our future. We will create the festival that our young artists NEED. We will begin the week at our home in Curve Theatre, Leicester and then travel across the country meeting and sharing work with young artists.
There were shows, workshops, and open mics.
