Professional Programme
15th - 17th September 2023
About the Professional Programme
We’ve risen up, bounced back, now we’re catching up with a temperature check check on our environment. A prime opportunity for the outdoor arts and circus sector to pitch shows, network and let loose.
The Out There Festival will be taking place Friday 15th, Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th of September at The Drill House, Great Yarmouth, NR30 2LZ, UK.
Out There Arts is inviting artists to apply to a series of pitching sessions over the Out There Festival Weekend as part of the Professionals Programme.
Artists will have the opportunity to present their ideas for new work, work in development or work ready to tour to a range of sector professionals.
This year the Out There International Festival of Circus & Outdoor Arts marks its 15th anniversary. The sensational outdoor celebration has animated the streets, parks and open spaces of Great Yarmouth for a decade and a half and the future is looking, well… pretty Out There. Outstanding, outrageous, and outright trailblazing; The Out There Festival 2023 offers once again a quality programme of the very best in outdoor arts and circus, bringing together the very best UK and international artists. Around 100 shows over the weekend mix spectacular circus, astounding acrobatics, dance, comedy, wacky creations and music.
Landing on the streets of Great Yarmouth on the 15–17 September, we’re inviting you to celebrate a landmark cultural celebration and almost all entirely for free! Get Out There and be a part of it!
