All registered delegates have a profile on the platform with details of their work and ways to connect with them. Delegates retain access to the platform for 12 months following the Market.

INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME

In 2026 we will again invite a number of international presenters, programmers, and partners.

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL TOURING PROGRAMME AND HOW DOES IT CONNECT TO PANNZ?

PANNZ was funded by Creative New Zealand in 2015 to run a national touring agency. Through this the PANNZ National Touring Programme (formerly knwn as Tourmakers) supports the touring of professional Aotearoa/New Zealand theatre, music and dance, and is a key initiative towards a sustainable touring network in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The purpose is to deliver high-quality work, with more than three people on stage, to medium-large scale professional performing arts venues throughout the country.

Each year, expressions of interest open for touring the following year. Applications are considered for suitability (marketing collateral, quality, scale and financial viability) and then a shortlist is taken to presenters to consider demand.

The 2024 our National Touring seasons featured The Savage Coloniser Show and Be Like Billy? touring to throughout Aotearoa.
