Key Nights is a scratch-style performance opportunity for creatives based in Peterborough (and the surrounding areas) who are making work in any artform. Perfect for those looking to test ideas in front of a supportive audience and take original work to the next level.
What is a scratch night?
Scratch nights act as a sharing platform for artists to test their work to a supportive live audience and the work presented is often at the very early stages of development.
Selected artists will have 20 minutes in which to present their work, which is followed by a feedback session with the audience. After collecting the audience’s thoughts, artists are then able to evolve the piece accordingly.
For audiences, scratch nights are a great way to see new work, contribute to the development of a piece and support artists.
