XTRAX supports inspirational outdoor performance running projects, festivals and showcases designed to promote innovative outdoor work from UK and international artists.
Showcases
Our showcases bring together UK and international promoters and professionals, to see high quality performance. These events, delivered in partnership with some of the UK’s leading festivals, provide opportunities for artists to sell their work, tour more widely and extend their reach.
Previous showcase partners include Greenwich+Docklands International Festival, Kendal Arts International, Manchester International Arts, Arts Council England, Decibel, Fuse Medway Festival and Dance Initiative Greater Manchester.
Festivals and Events
XTRAX runs outdoor festivals that promote UK outdoor performance to large, diverse audiences, creating an accessible platform for innovative work of the highest quality. Our biennial festival Platform 4 will be back again in 2013 with another weekend filled with the very best outdoor theatre and performance.
As well as delivering our own festival, we also offer consultancy and advisory services to programmers and producers and deliver networking and industry events. Clients and partners include Liverpool City Council, Walk the Plank, Chester Festivals, Manchester City Council and Piccadilly Partnership.
