Just Start Here: A festival of new work and Scottish artists.

National Theatre of Scotland and The Stove Network present a two-day festival of bold new work, taking over shop-fronts, working men’s clubs and the streets of Dumfries this February.  

At Just Start Here, dive into innovative work-in-progress performances, dance, music and cross-artform experimentation.  

During the day you'll find provocative talks and intimate performances, a bite to eat and ideas to mull over. Or come at night for performances and  live music including DG Unlimited's Bright Sparks award winner Stuart Macpherson. Stuart is based in Moniaive and he will be performing the latest iteration of his Solway to Svalgard project which is a collaboration with filmmaker Emma Dove, sound designer Peter Smith and the National Theatre of Scotland (NTS). 

A celebration, a party and a unique chance to see the artists and theatre-makers of today at a point of unfolding, Just Start Here is the beginning of something.

​Look forward to discussions, performances and music from:
