Conference Ballyhoo and Artist Showcases

NRTF

11 Feb 2025

Ballyhoos

Ballyhoo: a showperson's touting speech, or a performance advertising a show - bombastic nonsense; extravagant or brash publicity; noisy fuss.


Roll up, roll up and ballyhoo at the NRTF Conference 2025! Ballyhoos are NRTF's own brand of mini-showcase. We provide an audience, an exciting performance space and a microphone, and you provide the rest! We invite you to make a bombastic speech or performance, touting your project to NRTF Members. 


Who: A limited number of applicants will be invited to present their work at the NRTF Conference in Newbury

What: A 5 min 'elevator pitch' of work you are excited to share with NRTF Conference Delegates 

Where: 101 Outdoor Arts and Donnington Grove Hotel, in Newbury. 

When: 24th, 25th or 26th June 2025

Fee: NRTF offers a fee (to be discussed) plus a Conference ticket and accommodation if needed.
