It’s been four years since our last Victorian Performing Arts Forum, and TNA is thrilled to announce our next in-person gathering for the sector—happening this May.

This year, we’re interested in getting everyone in the room to focus on advocacy and collective action in the sector. Talking about advocacy can often lead to brainstorming and duplicating new work, but we’re interested in starting from the middle: what initiatives and advocacy work are artists, collectives and companies already doing? What are some ways that we can work collectively to achieve shared aims?

To ensure a broad range of delegates, there are a limited number of tickets in each category, and there is a maximum of two tickets per organisation.

We have a 30% discount code for members! Not a member? Find out more.

Pricing (per person):

• Indie: $20 (member: $14)
• Small: $30 (member: $21)
• Medium: $40 (member: $28)
• Large: $50 (member: $35)
• Government/University: $60 (member: $42)

Access:

• Auslan interpretation will be provided on request
• A quiet room will be available on the day.
