To be
delivered by CircuitWest, Shows on the Go is a community-driven touring model
successfully developed and run by Regional Arts WA for the past 25 years.
The
program will continue to give Western Australians — mainly in the regions — the
chance to curate what shows they would like to see.
As part of the program, communities
are offered the opportunity to select shows from a range of genres including
theatre, dance, music, children's entertainment, circus, puppetry and comedy.
The proposed program is for smaller,
regional professional and non-professional venues, where the performing arts
touring shows are selected from a range of options by the community and
provided at low cost.
The program has also now been
expanded to include outer metropolitan areas such as Kwinana.
The Shows on the Go program provides
a unique chance to address the challenges and issues of touring shows,
introducing a growth pathway for community venues to present established works
to their communities.
