Onur is proud to sponsor the BEAM:2016 event in London.

BEAM:2016 is presented by Musical Theatre Network and Mercury Musical Developments at Park Theatre, London on 8th – 9th March 2016. This showcase will encourage and develop musical theatre across the UK, identifying and supporting innovation, connecting practitioners and finding champions for original work.

BEAM is a collaboration between Musical Theatre Network and Mercury Musical Developments and is a key part of both organisations’ mission to support the development of new musical theatre. It is both a two day showcase event, preceded by a series of pitching days through which new work and artists are identified. The showcase combines live pitches and book-in-hand presentations of new work from artists and venues around the UK. There will also be panel discussions, provocations, networking, two Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation masterclasses and installations/digital displays. Work for this showcase will be selected via a series of pitching days taking place in regional venues across the UK, and which will also help foster a community of artists who will then forge connections with their local venue.

BEAM will:

*create a biennial forum through which artists, venues and producers interested in the development of new musical theatre can share work, ideas and practice;

*showcase new writing and new voices, as well as demonstrate the breadth of new musical theatre being created in the UK;

*open up a conversation about what this artform can be;

*facilitate the connections that spark new collaborations and ventures, encouraging future productions of new work.
