Connecting international producers and programmers with England's best contemporary performance artists and companies.

Our biennial event, caravan assembly, takes place as part of the Brighton Festival. We bring together the best contemporary performance from England with international producers and programmers for three days of performances, pitches, discussions and networking.

We are committed to fostering nuanced, region-specific engagement.

Since 2018, our new conversations collaboration and exchange programme has connected artists from the UK with specific regions around the world. Each project taking on a different form to reflect the needs and interests of the region.

It's such a brilliant programme, I've learned so much from being immersed a different arts culture. It's opened up my thinking around working internationally.
