If you’re thinking about putting in a proposal for a show for the 090909 UpStage Festival, come along to the matchmaking session at 8am 17 March NZ time (that will be Monday 16th for many of you – find your local time here). This is an opportunity for those with ideas to meet potential collaborators – and those who want to team up and work on someone else’s idea to find out what ideas are out there. Whether you’re an instigator or a collaborator, come along!

The matchmaking session will take place on the Swaray stage – click on this link to enter as a chatter (audience). If you are going to pitch an idea, you will need to be logged in: email info@upstage.org.nz to request a guest log-in if you don’t already have your own username.

Those with ideas get a few minutes to pitch their proposal; this takes place in UpStage, so you need to be able to get your idea across using text, drawing, and whatever graphics happen to be on the stage. If this sounds daunting, email info@upstage.org.nz to discuss your idea(s) beforehand.

Monday 16 March, 8pm Western European time
Tuesday 17 March, 8am NZ time
find your local time here.

There will be at least one more matchmaking session after this one and before the proposal deadline (which is 31 May), so if the time on 16-17 March is no good for you then please email info@upstage.org.nz and we will see if we can make the next session at a time you can be there.
