Establishing your theatre practice in the industry is an increasingly demanding challenge due to restrictions posed by funding, opportunity, access and space. The In Dialogue... series helps create that space, offering current and past participants of Scottish Youth Theatre projects a moment to gather and evaluate the pinnacles, pitfalls and peripheries they’ve experienced when developing their creative practice. Encountering a new theme each episode, artists, designers, writers and performers come together to discuss where obstacles lie for them and, ultimately, how new and exciting work can be collaboratively forged.

  • We Toured Our Work, and You Can Too
    Jun 1 2026

    It’s the third and final episode of the second series of In Dialogue – the podcast for emerging artists.

    On this week’s finale, we are joined by Isaac Frost and Hannah McGregor to talk about touring as early-career artists. After recently returning from the Encounters tour, they discuss what slow-touring is and why more early-career artists should consider hitting the road with their own work.

    Thanks for joining us for series 2 – and be sure to follow along with us to learn when the next series is here.

    Isaac Frost is a playwright and theatre-maker based in Edinburgh. His work is concerned with bureaucracy, button-pushing, and biopolitics – as well as trans lives, hypothetical trans futures, and systems that could, frankly, be a whole lot better than they are right now. He is a founding member of trans theatre collective Speakbeast, with whom he has performed at Camden People’s Theatre, Theatre Deli, and the Edinburgh Fringe.

    Hannah McGregor is a writer/theatre-maker from Glasgow, now a traitor based in Edinburgh. They like to explore identity in their work - queerness, nationality, gender identity, politics - and the tensions at the intersection of them all. They are passionate about pushing the boundaries of queer and trans performance, and building community through laughter, music, and all things joyful. They are inspired by magic, nature, and solidarity, and believe there’s a bit of each to be found everywhere.
