Margaret Sheehy of MSL Projects, a local arts organisation alerted HOT to the opportunity. I asked if there was a Hastings connection? “Myself and another local resident are on the Board,” replied Margaret. “MSL co-produced a big show here in Hastings with them and HBC. And we are negotiating with Festival.org with a view to bringing another show into town, possibly next year.

“There are several local fans who are regular attenders at the festival. It’s also a significant and rare opportunity for a young person in a town full of outdoor activity. Festival.org is part of Without Walls, a national producing agency, and Outdoor Arts UK, the national network. Members of the latter include 18 Hours and several other local companies.”
