How you can tour your performing arts show through WA in 2012

Shows on the Go Touring Menu 2012 Country Arts WA’s touring program Shows on the Go is seeking self-contained, professional productions to tour to regional and remote Western Australian communities in 2012. The Shows on the Go program is designed to ensure that small communities in regional Western Australia have access to high quality performing arts experiences. Country Arts WA coordinates the tours and covers the touring costs. Community groups pay the performance fee and coordinate local activities around the performance. Shows on the Go tours are selected by community presenters voting for those shows in the Touring Menu they would most like to present to their communities. Country Arts WA is funded to deliver three to four statewide tours per year, between four to eight weeks in length. If your production is selected, Country Arts WA will coordinate the tour including contracting with presenters for the payment of your fee and funding of all tour costs. To list your production in the 2012 Touring Menu, you must register and enter your production details on the Cyberpaddock website by 5pm, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 for a fee of $55.00 per production. You can access Cyberpaddock via the Country Arts WA website www.countryartswa.asn.au. Voting will close in September and the announcement of the 2012 touring shows will be made in October 2011. The hardcopy Touring Menu will be produced from the information supplied in the website, and will include a synopsis of your production, creative and technical information and the cost to presenters.
