The Festival also has an extended programme taking performances to venues in towns and villages throughout the North East of Scotland, a fringe programme in more informal venues and a programme of workshops and masterclasses with guest artists and companies at the Festival.

Participating companies can apply to take part in the whole Festival, or just to stay for a few days. Companies are asked to bring short pieces of up to 10 minutes for Gala performances, as well as up to 90 minutes of repertoire.

All participants stay at the University of Aberdeen, providing maximum opportunities to work together and socialise.

Please note that a nominal daily fee will be charged to all individual participants to cover accommodation, travel and catering.
