Teacher for R&D advisory group?

I am setting up a new R&D for a production this June called Pandora's Locker. 
I'm bringing together an advisory group that will help me shape the production and its main thematics around science/ biomedics, young people and opera/ performance.

Are you looking for grants or not confident in finding funding?

Are you looking for grants or not confident in finding funding? Over the last ten years I've developed, tried and tested a bidwriting session that could help you.

The aim of the session is to help individuals and small/ medium-sized organisations feel more confident in writing bids and making applications for funding.

The material covers:

  • sources of funding (public/ statutory, Lottery, trusts and foundations, etc);

post-Fringe/ post-summer get together

It'd be a week day after work/ evening thing to debrief and socialise, very likely in early-mid Sept. It'd be open to all and we'd expect some Producers Place people, and some Wales in Edinburgh people, and anyone else who fancies it.
 
If you do fancy it, please raise a virtual hand and…
