The Australian Performing Arts Market (APAM) works year-round, and across Australia, to connect contemporary Australian theatre, dance, emerging and experimental art with international and national opportunities. In 2020, APAM began a new series of annual events called Gatherings. The first of which took place alongside Asia TOPA, held in Melbourne February 24-28. The previopusly announced Gathering at Darwin Festival has been postponed to August 2021, due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Gatherings are more than just a showcase. They provide all the elements of traditional performing arts markets, but with full-length public performances. Happening at established festivals across Australia, APAM Gatherings build more opportunities for collaboration across the performing arts. APAM deepens relationships and creates new markets and pathways across the globe for contemporary Australian performance. If you are an Australian artist or company, a venue, a festival or an international colleague, producer or presenter, APAM invites you to connect!
