About the opportunity:

A Bit Of A Do is an inclusive festival, with work by disabled and non-disabled artists. The event takes place in October.
We want to hear from artists with either live or digital performances, or work that can be both.
We want to hear from:
- Disabled and non-disabled artists
- Artists / companies working in theatre, dance, cabaret,
comedy, spoken word and family shows.
- Artists whose work is live, digital or both

All performances for the festival must be:
- Finished / ready to be presented to a public audience
- Of a professional standard

We are particularly keen to hear from:

And would particularly like to encourage applications from:
- Artists living / working in Croydon
- Deaf and Hard of Hearing artists
- Visually impaired artists
- Artists from groups who are under-represented in the
arts, such as people from working class backgrounds and from the global majority, and LGBTQ+.

Work can be of any length – from short cabaret pieces, to full length shows.

Past artists include Touretteshero, Forced Entertainment, Candoco, Caroline Parker and Moxie Brawl.

All artists are paid a fee, and all work will be interpreted in British Sign Language, with audio description at most events.
