Black Theatre Live’s website makes it clear that the 'mid-scale Black Theatre Live tour' means predominantly narrative/text based theatre; though music, dance, aerial etc may form part of the storytelling. By ‘mid-scale’ the organisers mean productions that are of sufficient scale to perform on main-house stages, in auditorium of 300 to 700 capacity for up to a 1 week run. Application is open to BAME artists and/or BAME companies.
