Webinar: Second Cities Roadmap

A free webinar exploring the newly-announced Second Cities Producing Consortia — a landmark partnership between Geelong ArtsCentre, Merrigong Theatre Company, HOTA Home of the Arts and Canberra Theatre Centre to co-invest in developing and staging large-scale Australian theatre productions. Simon Hinton (Merrigong Theatre) and Rhys Holden (Geelong Arts Centre) discuss how the idea moved from informal conversation to a formal, pooled-resource partnership, and what a genuine co-investment model looks like in practice — relevant for anyone who's ever left a networking conversation with "we should work together" and nothing to show for it.
