Does anyone else wonder why ladder rungs nos. 3 and 4 are missing?

As a freelance theatre producer I’ve applied for two festivals recently: SPILL at the National Theatre Studio, run by Pacitti Company, and the Oxford Samuel Beckett award, run by the OSB Trust and supported by the Barbican. Both were looking for artists/companies who were just beyond fringe level- no more than a couple of small professional productions. I’m trying to think of opportunities that are available to those of us that are maybe (we like to think) a little further along. We all know developing your artistic practice doesn’t stall when you get paid for the first time, so if I’m right in thinking that these don’t exist- where’s the culture that sustains us through the first ten years rather than just the first three?

    helloooo I’m still trying to find a producer who has some experience on nos 1+2.
    I have the passion training and stamina,and dare I say …. the contacts (people rather than lenses);
    it’s the cohesive interactive weaving that I need, the climing I seem to be good at facilitating…
