| ATC/PL001 |  BEAR TRAP THEATRE COMPANY Bound, by Bear Trap Theatre Company, premiered to critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Festival 2010. Following a short London run at the Pleasance Islington, it then went on to headline the Adelaide Fringe Festival 2011. Awards include Fringe First, Herald Angel, Herald Little Devil, NSDF and Methuen Drama Emerging Artists Competition, Holden Street Theatres Award, Adelaide Advertiser Critics Choice Award and Best Theatre Performer (Ensemble). Bound is currently on a national tour of England and Ireland and will return to London for a month's run at Southwark Playhouse on 28th September. Bear Trap are planning a second national tour commencing in February 2012. Bound follows six trawlermen from the south west fishing port of Brixham as they embark on one final voyage. Compelled by the threat of bankruptcy, fishing trawler 'The Violet' and its mismatched crew are forced out into treacherous weather, battling each other's egos, their 'lives' ashore and a relentless storm. Will they lose more than a way of life? Bound is a bracingly physical tragic comedy, interwoven with beautiful traditional folk songs and rousing sea shanties. Using a bold innovative approach, Bound investigates the effects of a modern demise on a traditional industry. Bear Trap is one of the leading emerging young theatre companies in the UK. They produce vibrant new work through a blend of new writing, devising, movement and song. Crafting bold stories with heart, Bear Trap interrogates real drama with classical storytelling and inventive design. The company was formed in 2010 by Artistic Directors Jesse Briton and Joe Darke, graduates of East 15's acclaimed Contemporary Theatre course. Bear Trap works with a wide array of artists to create a total theatre experience that surprises and compels a diverse audience. "... an emotional storm" - The Daily Telegraph; "... a sea-bleached story told with passion and performed with real dynamism" - The Guardian; "Bursting with fresh talent" - The Times; "It is a play that reflects, and is for, our time. Electrifying from start to finish, this is powerful, unmissable drama" - Three Weeks. Bear Trap is seeking sponsorship for their four week run of Bound at Southwark Playhouse in London from the 28th September - 8th October and/or for their second national tour in February 2012. Interested sponsors should contact the Producer, Lindsay Fraser. Contact: Lindsay Fraser, Producer. Address: The White House, The Street, Horton Kirby DA4 9BY. Tel.:07836 655607.

| ATC/PL005 |  RED SHIFT THEATRE COMPANY "This unsettling, spiky, deliciously entertaining little show is a triumphant reminder of why the company has survived so long", Lyn Gardner, The Guardian. Who they are: Red Shift boasts a position as one of the country’s most experienced touring theatre companies, touring regularly since 1982 to urban and rural venues throughout the UK and abroad. Now, approaching their 21st birthday, Red Shift continues to evolve artistically and remains at the forefront of exciting touring theatre, whilst maintaining its distinctive style and commitment to bringing stimulating and accessible story-based theatre to the broadest audience possible. The company has charitable status and is one of the few national touring companies in receipt of revenue-funding from The Arts Council of England. Red Shift seeks sponsorship for whole tours, for London/Edinburgh runs and for the various education programmes targeted at young people and other sectors of the communities to which they tour. A popular area of support is sponsorship in kind: for example, Next and Red or Dead have clothed past Red Shift productions. Their audience: recent research suggests that at least 30% of the company's audience is made up of schools and colleges. 75% of their core audience are aged between 25-54 years and 95% are in social class ABC1.

| ATC/PL006 |  RUMPUS THEATRE COMPANY Rumpus is a lively, established theatre company with a strong reputation for stylish productions of popular and exciting new plays - they are “masters of the high audience appeal production”, Derbyshire Times. With a proven track record in small- and middle-scale touring, Rumpus is seeking business sponsorship in the form of a bridging loan to set up its first high profile Number 1 tour. The Signalman - a new play based on Charles Dickens' classic, well-known ghost story - has had two very successful regional productions (by Rumpus in Chesterfield in 1997 and by Bill Kenwright at the Theatre Royal, Windsor, in 1998) and was described by the press as “ideal entertainment for a winter’s night”, Observer, and, according to the Windsor Express, “deserves to join the ranks of stage shows that really send a shiver up the spine”. It therefore appears ripe for large-scale touring, and has the serious potential for a London West End transfer. For a very small investment, a potential sponsor would benefit from high profile national advertising in all promotional material and media exposure associated with the production, and the accompanying kudos of supporting a high-quality, popular appeal arts project for the duration of the production. The download button below will provide more detail on what this sponsorship proposal actually involves, together with more about Rumpus. Contact: John Goodrum, Director. Address: Rumpus Theatre Company, 151 Birches Lane, South Wingfield, Derbyshire DE55 7LZ. Tel.: 01773 835703. Fax: 01773 835703. E-mail: admin@rumpustheatrecompany.co.uk link to website

| ATC/PL008 |  TAPESTRY THEATRE COMPANY Paradise Lost is a new play written by actress and producer, Vicki McKellar. It tells the story of six people bound together through partnerships, secrets and scandal. It revolves around the complex relationships that people develop - unrequited love, troubled marriages and infidelity. Destruction strikes one evening when all is revealed as the group gathers around a Ouija board. The play has already enjoyed a short but successful five night run at The Leicester Square Theatre in London. It starred the celebrity-turned-actress Abi Titmuss. A longer run is due for July 2011 at the same theatre, this time with Susie Amy (Footballers' Wives, 71 Degrees North) playing the role of lesbian Suzie. Other actors appearing in the play are Vicki McKellar, Lloyd Morris (www.lloyd-morris.co.uk), Nadia Ostacchini (www.tricolore.org.uk) and two others to be confirmed. The show will be directed by Kenneth Michaels, who is currently directing Melinda Messenger and Bobby Davro in Cinderella at Nottingham Theatre Royal. "We will be employing the same PR company we had the last time - PHA Media (www.pha-media.com). Thanks to PHA, we had articles in the Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Sun, Closer magazine and various regional newspapers and an interview with BBC Radio. The show will cost approximately £30,000. This will ensure that all actors, the director, PR company and sound and lighting people are paid sufficiently. A small percentage of profits will go to charity. Sponsors will have their name mentioned on all promotional materials, at the actual theatre itself and in any newspapers, magazines and television and radio appearances that we obtain". Full details of sponsorship opportunities for sponsors and investors are available on request. Contact: Vicki McKellar, Artistic Director. E-mail: tapestrytheatre@btinternet.com link to website

| ATC/PL010 |  THEATRO TRANSCENDENTAL Theatro Transcendental offers a fresh yet concurrently ancient technique, in which theatre as an art form is used in order to educate and alter human consciousness. Through the use of sound, rhythm, movement and visual imagery, Theatro Transcendental aims to awaken ancient memories, to reveal to the viewers things which they have collectively forgotten. "The themes of our productions rise from eastern and Greek philosophy, spiritual truths and traditions and modern psychology, while the performers operate as artistic examples of how we can practically utilise philosophical and psychological theories in our everyday lives. Our first production, The Room of Unlimited Possibilities, after a sold-out run in Cyprus (where we are based), proved that our endeavour could not only succeed as a piece of theatre, but that it is possible for theatre to go beyond entertainment to become a transformational experience about life and change. We participated in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2011. We have a great deal to offer sponsors interested in advertising in both Edinburgh and Cyprus, including logo exposure in Cyprus’ third leading newspaper, Politis, as well as several Cypriot magazines. Our leaflets and posters will also be widely distributed in both countries, and your logo will be featured on all of our advertising material. Our website will display your logo, and a description of what your company offers, and this information will also be sent to our mailing list, which exceeds 1,000 members and grows daily. All interviews, including television, internet and radio related to the project will mention your contribution. We can also offer free workshops, performances and yoga classes to your company members, subject to the offer made, and whether or not this is practically possible for us. We will accept no more than three sponsors, in order for us to offer as much exposure as possible. Alternatively, in order to become our sole sponsors, the full amount we would require is £5,000, which would enable us to give your company maximum and far more exclusive exposure".

| ATC/024 | ROBERT HYLTON URBAN CLASSICISM Robert Hylton Urban Classicism (RHUC) produce, perform and educate through hip hop, contemporary dance, music, theatre and film, to enrich people through shared culture, life long learning and new experience. RHUC's left of centre approach to hip hop, theatre, film and contemporary dance choreography has carved a company whose work is groundbreaking, accessible and thought-provoking. RHUC was born in 1999 from an idea of returning to a form of expression experienced by Robert Hylton. This, coupled with newly found techniques, direction and ongoing discipline, gave Robert a basis for Urban Classicism. Today RHUC is much more than that early vision of fusion that Robert held: it is a foundation for the future of the next generation whose hearts and dreams also reside within the realms of hip hop, contemporary dance, theatre, education and film. RHUC now boasts core staff, performers, technical staff and some twenty collaborators and followers, with supporters and clients from around the UK and the world. RHUC tours have included small to middle-scale theatres throughout the UK over its lifespan, with its reputation having spread as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, Bangkok, Indonesia, Taiwan, Belgium, Copenhagen, Cyprus, Holland, Italy, Mozambique, South Africa, Lithuania, Prague, Zagreb and Cuba. UK venues include the South Bank Centre, Robin Howard Theatre, The Place, Lilian Baylis - Sadlers Wells and LABAN. RHUC has drawn audiences and participants from all cultural backgrounds and age groups, its eclectic style attracting from the ages of eight to eighty years old. Past sponsors, commissioners and supporters include the South Bank Centre, the National Gallery, LABAN and Vestax Europe. "This young hip-hop artist uses a mix of forms to take dance to entertaining and dramatic new places", The Times, UK; "The six dancers swagger about both in formation and with solo turns, showcasing kicks, backspins and improbably angled headstands", The Guardian, UK; "The meeting of two dance cultures, with each successfully crossing the other's boundaries", The Jakarta Post, Indonesia.
