All proceeds of the auction will benefit the students of Upward Mobility Project.

We’re accepting submissions for our sixth Collider event!

You can find all the information you’ll ever need about Collider if you click here, but in brief, it’s a chance to meet people you might like to collaborate with in future. Monday 5 October is Selection Night, so please send in excerpts from full plays. At previous Colliders we’ve noticed that excerpts tend to lose out to self-contained short plays, so this time we’re asking for excerpts only – let’s give them a chance to shine!

Does Music or Performing in any way something that you long to do with complete freedom, but fills you with fear when others are watching or listening?

This workshop will be teaching us how to use a combination of singing and processwork psychology tools to transform the barriers which block us from true expression, discover our authentic selves and explore your inner critic through exercise and play.

EDINBURGH SOUP is an innovative new event to help fund creative and community projects in Edinburgh. Guests pay a donation of £5 to attend. They get soup, they get music, but the focus of the night is the project pitches. Four invited speakers get five minutes to tell the audience about a project for which they need funding. No video, no Powerpoint, just a straight pitch. At the end, the audience vote on which idea they like best, and the winner gets the pot of donations. The winner then returns to a future SOUP to tell us how they’ve done.

Artwork Reveal is accepting new artwork submissions for all remaining issues of 2015. Every genre, subject, and medium will be considered, and there is no cost to participate or be featured. See their recent issue here.
