The 19th annual International Theatre Exchange is a one-day gathering of influential arts presenters and producers from across the world. Invited by ITI, they will engage with Irish companies and artists who have ‘ready for export’ productions or are working on projects with an attractive international dimension. Comprising discussion, bespoke one-to-one meetings, networking events, showcase and in-development performances, the Exchange is a must for all Irish producers of professional theatre who have an eye to international platforms and an ambition to build international touring networks and partnerships. International Theatre Exchange is funded by the Arts Council and Culture Ireland.
