TNA NEWS & UPDATES

CaPT Performing Company Database

In exciting news TNA are currently working to launch a brand new website – this will bring a fresh look and deliver a new platform for engaging with and advocating for the CaPT sector. 

As part of this development we will be creating a living database to capture our small, medium and large performing circus and physical theatre companies. This will provide a snapshot of our companies for presenter and programmers, funding bodies and aspiring artists. We hope this will increase the visibility of both individual companies but also the sector as a whole. 

To add your performing company to the data base – enter your key details through our database portal.  Then keep a look out over the next couple of months for our website release!

We also encourage companies to become TNA members at the same time to be part of the TNA network. 

Victorian Circus & Physical Theatre Producer Club

Introducing the ‘Producers Club’ for Victorian Circus and Physical theatre producers. A bi-monthly session at the TNA saloon (in Melbourne), to meet, have a tea and biscuit, work through challenges and share successes with a bunch of like-minded and experienced folk.

Bespoke to the most urgent needs, skills, and conversations that the participants have identified for their producing practice. Sessions will be partly facilitated and partly driven by the participants – blending conversation with dedicated work sessions. There will also be an opportunity for participants to get supported with business-like advice on topics like superannuation and industry standard rates.

There will be separate sessions for emerging and established producers. Whilst density restriction remain, participation will be via expression of interest and require an RSVP ahead of each session.

If you are interested, please fill in this brief expression of interests form (there is no closing date). Any questions or to discuss accessibility and support please email steph@tna.org.au
