For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali caught up once again with Dawn Taylor, the Artistic Director & CEO at MANIPULATE Arts, to learn all about this year's MANIPULATE Festival which runs from 12th - 15th February.
Now in its 18th year the festival promises something for everyone, and Dawn gives us an overview of the programme, a bit of history, the significance in supporting non-text based theatre, film and other forms of performance, the importance of building lasting relationships with audiences, and just what festival goers can expect.
The two also talk about the challenges faced in putting together this year's programme, and those facing all festivals across the arts, before discussing just a number of potential highlights, some of the companies and artists appearing, and how and where people can get tickets and get involved.
It's a great introduction to this year's MANIPULATE festival, and should whet the appetite for what's to come...
