‘Welcome to caravan. I am sure you will enjoy the ambition and inventiveness of the artists whose work you are about to experience.  We are very proud to support them and the team behind this very special event – which is a fantastic demonstration of the way in which English theatre is reinventing itself.
With your support, the extraordinary and inspiring events will result in new international collaborations and world-wide audiences with which the artists can make new discoveries.
I am confident that you will return home with new friends, new ideas and new resolve to help us achieve our mission of Great Art for Everyone!
Happy caravanning!’

Barbara Matthews, Director of Theatre, Arts Council England

“The British Council – the UK’s cultural relations agency – is delighted to be a partner on caravan. Imaginative arts programmes are a key element in our cultural relations ambitions, just as international exchange between artists is central to our work. Recognising caravan’s shared ambition to promote the UK’s creative ideas and achievements around the world, we wish the organisers every success in engaging new artists, audiences, participants and markets”

Brendan Griggs, Director Dance and Drama, British Council

‘The South East arm of UK Trade and Investment is glad to be involved with caravan.  In 2010 we supported the visit of over 30 overseas delegates from 16 countries to the showcase.  As a result of this investment and the exposure to international bookers, 12 performing companies were booked to appear at various festivals and events around the world with the confirmed bookings amounting to £74,400.’
