The International Programme uses the following to develop overseas audiences and markets. When opportunities are open they will be listed under find funding opportunities.

Touring Australia Pilot

The objective of this four year pilot is to increase demand for New Zealand contemporary theatre, dance and multi-disciplinary works within Australian performing arts touring networks. Australian agent(s) will be contracted to place New Zealand work in regional touring circuits supported by a Creative New Zealand subsidy to off-set landed costs.

In 2012 we are supporting New Zealand presenters and venues to attend the 26th Annual Australian Performing Arts Centres Association (APACA) Performing Arts Conference and Blue Heeler Network Touring Forum.
