In In the North West our focus is on how local authorities and producers of Street Arts and Circus can use the prospect of a large international event in their city to promote a relevant programme of outdoor activity.

We are delighted to announce that Andre Perusse, programmer of the “Juste Pour Rire” festival in Montreal, one of North America’s biggest outdoor arts festivals, will be our keynote speaker to give an insider’s view of this theme with his vast international experience. Andre will be accompanied by Julie Tait (Kendal International Arts) and Debbi Lander (2012 Regional Programmer).

To add, Marta Almirall Elizalde (Director of Culture for Barcelona and Choreographer of the group who performed at the opening of the Barcelona Olympics) will be joining proceedings to bring her experience to the conversation.

We feel sure that you will want to join us in Manchester for this event and a weekend of extraordinary x-trax spectacle.
