The British Council works in partnership with the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, to host international delegations to UK showcases. These visits enable overseas festival directors, promoters, producers and programmers to make connections with and meet their UK counterparts, see a wide range of innovative UK work, and provide the opportunity for networking.
The Italian delegate to this year's Showcase, is Cecilia Balestra, Academic at the Scuola d’Arte Drammatica Paolo Grassi and Accademia d’Arti e Mestieri dello Spettacolo del Teatro alla Scala in Milan.
