This spring house will be hosted by Old Fire Station, Oxford to bring you Pitch Up: Oxfordshire.

Run by house southeast theatre network, Pitch Up provides a platform for venues and artists to pitch ideas and opportunities and create space for new partnerships to emerge; bringing together 10 artists and companies and around 10 venue representatives to share opportunities, connect and collaborate in front of an industry audience.

The following South East based venues will be joining us to pitch their opportunities for partnership working: The Mill Arts Centre, Banbury, Cornerstone Arts Centre, Didcot, Pegasus, Oxford, Corn Exchange, and 101 Outdoor Arts, Newbury, The Kenton, Henley on Thames, Cidermill Theatre, Chipping Campden, The Theatre, Chipping Norton & The North Wall, Oxford.

By bringing venues and theatre-makers together for the day to talk about what they have to offer, and what they’re looking for, house aims to foster a more collaborative, open approach to traditional pitching events and programming.
