Perspectives on Tour Booking: An Artist, A Festival, and a Tour Booker

In this webinar, we'll hear from 3 different speakers about their approaches to the booking process. From the artist's perspective on how they communicate with programmers, their experiences of working with presenters and what they are looking for; to a tour booker's perspective on how they operate and what they believe presenters are looking for. Finally, we'll hear from a festival programmer on, outside of a great show, what they look for and expect as part of their booking process. There'll be a chance for a discussion around best practice in the Q+A in the end.

Artists - Hands Down Circus

Tour Booker - Sarah Trist Dance Management Agency

Festival - Andrew Loretto, Director of Hat Fair

The session is split into two halves, with the presentations at the beginning that will last roughly around an hour and then an open Q+A for the remaining 30 minutes.
