ARTIST
SHOWCASE
2025

Here & Now is funded by Arts Council England to present showcases at Edinburgh's August Festivals in 2024 & 2025.

Following a hugely successful showcase in 2024, Here & Now returns in 2025 with a programme of six bold and brilliant tour-ready performances, curated via an open call and selection process.   

The works selected for the showcase were those that were deemed by the panel to:
 

• have strong appeal to international multi-artform venues and festivals presenting contemporary performance
   

• challenge ideas about what 'performance created in England' might look like, in terms of formal innovation, or who is making the work
   

• reflect the diversity of artists working in England today

 
The final selection panel included Here & Now partners BAC, FABRIC and GIFT,  with representatives from British Council, Unlimited and international presenters from across four continents.
