If you are coming to Cradle of Creativity, and are registered (for Cradle, Conference or Festival, OR if you are an artist performing at the festival), you will be able to access the activities of each focus day, on a first come first served basis. This means that you can attend any of the presentations or discussions, provided there is space in the venue, using your name tag as access. You will also be able to sign up for workshops on a first come first served basis.

Those who are coming for a shorter period, may choose to register for a particular Focus day or Focus days… this means that you are going to see productions related to your focus, and these will be included in your package. It also means that you will get lunch for the particular days for which you are registered, and will follow the full programme of the day. You have first choice in terms of the workshops on offer.
