Escalator is an arts council england, east initiative which aims to identify, nurture and develop artistic talent in the east across all artforms. Escalator east is one element of this larger scheme..
Escalator East to Edinburgh continues to build critical acclaim championing exceptional performing artists from the East, who want to showcase work at the Edinburgh Festivals and benefit from wider exposure. Since 2003, artists and companies have been assisted with venue sourcing, promoter liaison, invaluable networking opportunities, practical PR and marketing support.
This year the programme offers structured support for 21 shows raising the profile of work from the East of England. Previous years have seen Escalator East to Edinburgh companies win an impressive number of awards and press plaudits, establishing it as a highly respected brand for audiences and media alike.
The project is managed by The Junction in partnership with Colchester Arts Centre.
