About Touring

We highly recommended the Canada Council's online touring resource called On the Road, which includes both a touring handbook and presenter handbook with detailed information, helpful forms and checklists compiled from experts in the field from across the country.

There's dozens of ways to tour and hundreds of things that can go wrong, being aware of what can potentially happen will increase your chances of success.

As the On the Road site says:
The old adage "Everything that can go wrong will" may not be a perfect metaphor for touring and this publication cannot hope to cover all the circumstances that you will encounter when touring around this vast country. When it comes to touring there is no single answer or rule that will fit all situations, but you will find useful information in this manual for most aspects of touring.

For anyone considering touring or planning their first tour, we really like this checklist, also from the On the Road site.

As Made in BC develops and we collect and interpret data, we will include our own information relevant to dance touring within BC. Stay tuned!
