Theatre Forum and TheatreNI welcome delegates to the 2017 Conference.
Theatre Forum’s annual conference held June 21 – 22 took place during a time of heightened uncertainty. Just days after the Cabinet announcement and Brexit’s official start, the largest gathering of performing arts professionals from Ireland and Northern Ireland took place in Cork during the City’s Midsummer festival.
At the conference co-producers TheatreNI and Theatre Forum posed a question to delegates: how in a fast-changing environment, will they play the hands they’ve been dealt? Built around a call to action the Twist or Stick conference programme explored how the wider performing arts sector negotiates a rapidly changing economic, social and political environment.
Several themes, including festivals and return on investment, the value of artists, creative industries as big businesses, equality and access, and change looking forward, shaped the conference conversation.
