Applications to perform in 2009
Assembly is always interested in new shows and we are happy to open applications for the 2009 Festival. We travel all over the world looking for fantastic, great new shows to perform at Assembly.
Please submit your application either by email or post using the contact details below:
Programming Department - info@assemblyfestival.com
Assembly Theatre, Riverside Studios, Crisp Rd London W6 9RL.
We do not use a formal application form but ask instead that you supply as much relevant material as you have available - script/DVD/reviews etc - and a covering letter indicating your preferred space.
Points of Consideration
Performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is quite a different and rewarding experience to performing anywhere else in the world. Assembly is the most established venue at the Fringe and because we have fantastic staff and crew the level of service you will be provided is second to none. As a result we get enormous press and media coverage. Many of the shows and performers that have been through Assembly's doors have gone on to be household names, but o courwe still cannot guarantee an audience. Competition for audiences at the Fringe is fierce. In 2006 there were over 2000 shows on offer. There is a huge element of risk that each company, including ourselves, has to take. Creating a realistic budget for your show is imperative. Aim to do more than break even and take on the mindset that the Edinburgh Fringe is the best showcase for live performance and therefore there is no better way of getting company exposure in the world!
