From Road Dog to Road God
Touring regional NSW takes more than a great show. It takes planning, adaptability, and the stamina to perform your best night after night no matter the stage, the room or the worksheet.
Join Elana Stone and Zeppelin Hamilton for an online session built around two things that make or break a regional tour: performance and planning. In the first half, unpack what it takes to deliver a strong live show consistently - rehearsal, set planning, stage craft, and staying performance ready on the road. In the second half, get into the practical side of touring - working with venues, understanding production basics and building a tour that is impactful and sustainable.
You’ll walk away with intel on:
- How to deliver strong live performances for different venues and audiences
- How to plan and execute a regional tour with confidence
Who is this workshop for
You will get the most out of this workshop if you are an artist thinking about - or already doing - regional touring. Whether you’ve never left your hometown or you’re looking for new ways to tour, this one’s worth your time.
