Bite Size and its sister festival First Bite support, commission and showcase new work from the Midlands. The activity traditionally runs biennially across four public events and includes a fully supported commissioning process for three regional theatre makers.
The First Bite Festival is an eclectic mix of extracts and ideas from some of the Midland’s most exciting theatre makers. It provides a platform for new work in progress from theatre makers based in the Midlands, and is an exciting and unique opportunity for artists/companies across the region to develop new ideas and perform work in front of an audience of theatregoers and national venues/industry professionals.
Three of the programmed companies go on to receive a commission to develop the work and to present it at its next stage, alongside a showcase of new performance work, during Bite Size.
