Feedback from previous participants:
“The mentorship came at the perfect time for us, and if there were other companies at a similar stage – a graduate company about a year in to forming – then we would not hesitate to recommend it. Proto-type have been the catalyst for our development as artists and as a company. We have received the most incredible support from the company over the year. Once the mentorship ended we were in a much stronger position to continue with our ongoing plan. We cannot thank Proto-type Theater enough for the guidance and support they have provided.” – 2015/16 participants Flickbook Theatre
“Throughout the sessions we were given a wealth of tips and guidance. All of this knowledge has been stowed away safely for us to use when it comes to touring and applying for funding for the first time.” – 2012/13 participant
“A very positive experience. It made the professional dream real and helped us see the future of our little company a little more clearly.” – 2012/13 participant
