Do you have an idea that could shape the future of theatre for the better?
We would love to invite you to participate in The Big Idea that will be showcased at the event.
This feature is an opportunity for theatremakers and industry professionals to pitch their big idea which would change theatre for the better.
You can be as creative or ambitious as you like. You can share a new idea or something you are already doing that you think could be shared more widely. Remember, ideas are meant to be shared!
Your pitch could involve an idea that is very practical and specific eg. all tickets should be printed on recycled paper. Rehearsals should be held between certain hours.
Alternatively, they can be technological such as a new product; or they can be systemic and all-encompassing i.e. all tickets should be free. All performances should be streamed online.
Your idea could be about sustainability or accessibility in the industry.
We encourage you to introduce your big idea clearly at the start of your 500 words, bring solutions and even comment on how you would develop your idea should you be able get support or funding for it.
If you would like to take part, please send a short (max 500 words) email with your idea to events@thestage.co.uk with the subject line ’The Big Idea’.
Our event programmers will invite a selection of the best ideas to present a short (2-3 minute) presentation at the event or - if you are unable to attend - submit a video presentation.
If you are selected to present your Big Idea at the conference you will receive a FREE ticket to attend the event.
SUBMISSIONS HAVE NOW CLOSED.
Deadline: March 17 @ 12pm
