BE Festival is ready to get started again and artist all across Europe can participate on it. Since it began in 2009 this festival tries to investigate and promote the scenic arts all over Europe getting in contact with european festivals and events. The ethos of the festival is to cross borders, so we will programme work that crosses borders (linguistic, cultural, artistic) and which inspires people of all nationalities.

It’s a powerful showcase opportunity as performances are watched by national and international programmers. Companies who performed at BE have since been programmed at London International Mime Festival, The Barbican, South Bank Centre, The Lowry, Leeds Carriageworks, Bilbao ACT Festival, Rome Short Theatre Festival and Sarajevo MESS Festival to name a few.Furthermore, it’s an opportunity to explore ideas and build new collaborations with performers from across Europe. Selected companies will be provided with accommodation, meals, transport in Birmingham, and will get free access to world-class workshops, feedback, discussions and opportunities for professional development.
