Survival is not an option...
Thank you to all who attended and participated in the event on Sat 3rd Dec 2011

The day was huge success and we hope you felt so too.

It was a day for emerging theatre and performance makers to come together and interact, share, debate, present, perform.

Emerging artists were invited to an event that we hope was useful in their development as an artist or company. Point Blank invited the next generation of theatre and performance makers to lead the way through the challenges for development and growth in this climate of recession.

We will be in touch with feedback from the event and with the collective ideas and plans for the future.

If you were unable to attend but would be interested in getting involved/ receiving more information please email marianne@pointblank.org.uk.
