PERFORMERS and writers are invited to submit applications to Villages in Action, Devon’s rural touring arts organisation, to take part in this year’s From Devon With Love, the annual scratch festival in September.

The festival is open to Devon-based artists working in live performance with a new piece of work they are ready to test out in front of a friendly audience?

The VIA team wants to hear from performers making original work, including theatre, dance, circus, storytelling, spoken word, puppetry and poetry. Ten artists will receive support including time with the VIA producing team, up to £400 performance fee and a 30-60 minute slot at the festival.

For the first time, the festival organisers are also making additional support available for previously excluded, neurodivergent and global majority artists in the application process.

If this sounds like you, you can find out more about the From Devon With Love festival on the website https://villagesinaction.co.uk/fdwl/

Applications close on 9th April.
