If you want to book a Forward Motion screening please follow our step-by-step guide.

Step One: Contact forwardmotion@britishcouncil.org to start the booking process. Please allow a minimum of 4 weeks notice before your screening date. If you would like to request a subtitled version of the programme we require a minimum of 8 weeks notice. Please contact us if you would like to book a screening at shorter notice and we will confirm if it will be possible.

Step Two: A pencil booking date will be agreed, and a Sales Pack and Technical Booking Form will be sent out to you. The Sales Pack presents an overview of the Forward Motion programme including full Programme Listings (you can download this from here) and the 5 minute Forward Motion Promo DVD which gives an overview of the three programmes.

Step Three: Complete the Technical Booking Form and send to emily.james@southeastdance.org.uk. The Technical Booking Form provides us with the relevant information we need to confirm your booking.

Step Four: Your booking and screening date will be confirmed, and you will receive a Promoter’s Contract which contains all the relevant Promoter, Screening, Partner and Venue details. Complete and return the Promoter’s Contract. Your invoice for the screening will be issued, and we ask that you please pay promptly.

Step Five: You will receive a Promoter’s Pack which contains important background, marketing and technical information which will provide you with invaluable assistance in making your screening a success. You will also be given access to trailers of each programme that you are screening for you to use to promote the programmes to your audience. Please take sufficient time to go through the pack and the enclosed CDR.

Step Six: The screening material will be dispatched to you at least two weeks prior the screening date – please confirm receipt. Don’t forget to test your material on the equipment that will be used at the screening and let us know ASAP if there any technical issues.

Step Seven: Print the Evaluation Forms (both Promoter and Audience) and have the forms completed right after the screening. We also need audience figures so please take a note of this at the time of the screening. Please return all completed Evaluation Forms with the screening material following the screening.

Many thanks for booking Forward Motion and enjoy your screening.
