Every other year, the British Council organises the Edinburgh Showcase which takes place from 24 to 29 August this year. It is considered by the international theatre community to be a crucial element of their programming schedule. It is a unique opportunity to come together for an intensive and high-profile week viewing some of the most exciting theatre and live art productions available from the UK. Delegates from the Netherlands and Belgium will also attend, alongside hundreds of other professionals from across the globe. It is also a unique opportunity for British Council colleagues working in the arts, like myself, to meet and exchange ideas.
The Showcase kicks off in two days and I am almost ready (still on holidays in England, slowly traveling up towards Edinburgh). During the whole week I will see some 15 performances and attend some major events from which I wish to report back on this blog. This is an interactive blog so feel free to leave your comments, questions or any thoughts you might have, whether you're in Edinburgh or not, this blog is open for all who are interested in the performing arts. I hope you'll enjoy!
