Every two years Australia's freshest performing arts talent heads to Adelaide to showcase before national and international producers and presenters at the Australian Performing Arts Market (APAM).

A prime networking event and a chance to meet the movers and shakers of contemporary performing arts in the Asia Pacific region, APAM takes place from 26 February - 1 March 2012 at the Adelaide Festival Centre in South Australia.

APAM is held in conjunction with the Adelaide Festival and Fringe, and includes the vibrant Spotlight showcase, Searchlight pitch sessions, On Display booths, a keynote address, forums, workshops and networking functions with hundreds of producers and presenters from across the world.

In 2012, three Queensland performing arts groups feature in the APAM Searchlight program.

Renowned chorographers Gavin Webber and Grayson Millwood have collaborated once again to bring Cut Away by the Animal Farm Collective. Circa and the Bell Shakespeare have collaborated on a new physical theatre piece As Dreams are Made On. For the first time at APAM, The Human Company will present a children's theatre production The Empty City.

Arts Queensland will be supporting Queensland's export-ready performing artists and companies at APAM with a 'qld@apam' On Display booth and media lounge. Arts Queensland will also host a networking function for Queensland artists and companies and national and international delegates.
