The New Normal: Where’s that to…?

SERIES STARTS MONDAY 15TH MARCH 2021 – AVAILABLE FROM 6PM

A series of podcasts between theatre makers and venue managers looking at the ways COVID-19 has affected their practice. The positives. The negatives. And everything between.

What are we doing differently and how much of that do we want to retain and develop when theatres re-open?

The series will culminate with a discussion led by Emma Bettridge, to include all the participants from the series, looking ahead to the changes we need to make to ensure better representation of our work, strengthen our working relationships (venues/theatre makers/ agencies/funders) and make our industry fit for purpose?
