CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
TOURING AUSTRALIA
Creative New Zealand’s exciting new initiative to create touring opportunities for New Zealand performing arts in Australia
Introduction
Arts Projects Australia is working with Creative New Zealand to manage a pilot program to get high quality New Zealand performing arts on the road in Australia – including regional and remote Australia.
There are many artists and companies in New Zealand making exciting new work that will connect with a wide range of audiences in Australia, and this project will see a small, curatednumber of those companies selected to participate in the Touring Australia pilot, which will run over a four year period.
The deadline for proposals is 12 November 2012.
This is the first Call for Expressions of Interest to New Zealand companies.
Please note that other opportunities will arise throughout project’s timeframe.
Arts Projects Australia wouldlike to hear from companies with high quality contemporary dance, theatre or multi-disciplinary work presented in an original and professional way.
Criteria
Selection will be based on the criteria of excellence, ‘appeal’ and tour readiness.
The companies should demonstrate they have a creative vision, the potential to engage diverse audiences, a touring trackrecord and that the work being offered is, or will be, ‘tour ready’. It will have already premiered or will premiere before 15March 2013, and be designed to tour.
Proposals
Please include a ‘tour summary’ with your proposal, including:
- touring company roles and numbers
- fee levels
- technical and marketing specifications
You should outline your company’s infrastructure, including your capacity:
- to sustain a tour,
- to consistently deliver performances to the highest possible standards over a prolonged period
Please also provide a brief explanation of your touring objectives and how touring in Australia aligns with your international market development plans.
Time-line
12 November, 2012 - deadline for proposals
- end of December 2012 - shortlist of works( Arts Projects Australia in consultation with Creative New Zealand).
- late January/early February 2013 – announcement of list
- End March – possible additions to shortlist (following the International Visitors Programme, (Te Manu Ka Tau), Auckland Arts Festival and Performing Arts Network of New Zealand (PANNZ).
It is envisaged that two of the shortlisted companies will tour in Australia before the middle of 2014.
Process
- Once companies have been selected for the short list, APA will match them with the most appropriate presenters for their work, and will do this through APA’s own touring relationships and through the various touring platforms and networks, including indigenous, in Australia.
- Selection does not guarantee that a tour will be realised. Normal market forces still apply and the competition is strong.
- APA is the producer for Touring Australia, and will be the conduit for the companies, working with them to articulate their points of difference and assisting the companies to be positioned to let the work speak for itself. APA will also negotiate the tours and contracts on the companies’ behalf, and provide marketing, financial and production support.
- For tours that do come to fruition Creative New Zealand will off-set landed costs (accommodation, per diems and domestic travel within Australia). Further – the selected companies will be eligible to apply to Creative New Zealand’s International Presentation Fund for international airfares and freight for their Australian touring.
Expression of interest are due no later than 12 November 2012

Establishing the Amount and Basis for the Annual Subscriptions |
A nominal $50 subscription is currently included in the PANNZ Market registration fees set at:
The Market Fees were raised in 2009 and 2010 to acknowledge the increased catering costs of a two day Market and the affect of the GST increase. The criteria was also tweaked to make the Market more affordable for small venues in high population areas and for large venues in low population areas. No further increases are proposed at this time.
There is currently no provision for someone to officially become a member if they do not attend the Market but they can join the database for free via the website and at present all PANNZ resources are free to the public.
Proposal to waive the subscription cost portion of the Market Registration fee for PromPT Incorporated Executive Members. |
