PLEASE TAG ANYONE YOU RECOGNISE!!!
Creative Sparks is back for another year, and we are working with University of Cumbria again to offer three very special commission opportunities to present shows or events as part of the 2019 festival.
... We will ask for an expression of interest in the programme by 1st Feb 2019. If we like your idea we will ask you to submit a detailed proposal by the 7th Feb 2019.
We will be looking for two ideas for performances that have been created or produced in Carlisle, one of which will be a student or graduate, and the other from an emerging artist or company.
