Thank you!
The last festival guests are now on their way with the magical tram transport towards the North Pole and it is possible that some children still refuse to leave the scenography of the Lava Forest, but Showbox is over for this year. What a festival it has been!
Are you going to one or more of the seminars and workshops?
Skal du på flere forestillinger, eller ett eller flere av fagprogrammene? Da anbefaler vi deg å melde deg på som delegat.

Strategic marketing for performing artists
Making yourself or your own projects visible in the performing arts can be overwhelming, small and feel arbitrary. Few of us are trained in marketing and the little we can do has been created through the well-known trial and error method. If you recognize yourself, then you read on.

2021: Showbox without live shows
We had been looking forward to seeing children, young people, families and delegate audiences in the hall at all 15 live performances that were to play at this year's Showbox, but that was not the case. The 16th edition of Showbox will be, to put it mildly, very different than before.
See you next year
The showbox' christmas tree is turned off, the poster wall is down and the last performance is played on the 15th edition of Showbox. Thanks to all grown and young audience members, partners from home and abroad, venues, companies, performers, technicians, volunteers, Young Voices, international delegates, all who have participated in professional events, mingles and parties.
