Performance in Profile

Each year we publish an indispensable directory of UK drama, dance, street arts and outdoor work from a broad range of artists and companies with work suitable for overseas touring. It is designed to be a useful working tool for international promoters, venue managers and festival directors and includes contact details, statements of artistic policy and information about available shows.

On Tour

On Tour CoverPlease note - we no longer produce the bi-annual drama and dance publication On Tour. This is the last issue but you can still access archive issues in PDF format - see below.

Each issue incorporates several large features, from focuses on venues to studies of advancements in UK performing arts practice, as well as an overview of British Council events across the globe and lots of UK news, useful websites and resources.

Download Issue 30 of On Tour (February 2008).

These are large PDF files (typically 5-7MB) so they may take a while to download.
