Brief Encounters is the newest project Platform Academy has developed. Launched in Fringe 2017 - we created an opportunity that allows performers to create a small show of their own while being mentored and fully supported! The artists are backed by a full band and design the beginning of what could be an entire album, a full cabaret show, or an amazing gig. Each artist receives guidance, portfolio material and workshops from industry professionals along the way in all aspects of performance.This year we are in the beautiful Hickinbotham Room at the National Wine Centre. Relaxing in this beautiful atmosphere you'll enjoy an evening filled with great wine, platters of food, a huge array of artistry and music through this entertainment feast that is BRIEF ENCOUNTERS!
