Insights Platforms

Insights Platforms is a performing arts platform created in 2009 by Jai Hutchison. Insights Platforms, which was initially designed to support graduates within the performing arts, with the main focus being to provide performance opportunities and to also ensure that graduates did not become disengaged from their practice. The first ‘Insights Platforms’ was held at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2010. Due to its success, Insights Platforms continued in 2011 with two platforms being held in the U.K; again, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and also at RADA in London, as a part of the Camden Fringe. Each year the platform continued to develop and support more artists with the last Insights Platforms taking place across the U.K. and supporting emerging artists at events and Insights Platforms in Edinburgh, London, Leeds, Newcastle and Aberdeen; incorporating the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Camden Fringe, and the launch event at DanceLive. After a hiatus Insights Platforms is returning in 2019 within a fresh approach and new aim of not only supporting graduates, but all emerging artists within the performing arts, regardless of academic standing, as we acknowledge that not all artists train through an education process and we aim to be more accessible and inclusive in the support we offer. Insights Platforms will hold its relaunch platform at the 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe; we hope to see you there! Insights Platforms is currently based in Edinburgh, however works with artists from all corners of the earth. If you are interested in having your work put into the next platform, please send an email with a short proposal, your C.V. and some footage of your work, or work in progress.
