InterMISSION forum #2 - Reaching younger/wider audiences

Leo Gene Peters and the Wellington Producers Room facilitate a conversation about reaching younger and wider audiences.

The ‘purpose’ of a range of performing arts projects are examined, the audiences that ‘purpose’ attracts and how we may shift that ‘purpose’ to attract wider and younger audiences. Music Promoter Jim Rush joined us to help open up the conversation.

Audio: Listen to the InterMISSION #2 conversation - 26 April 2011.

Part of the InterMISSION forum series hosted by The Wellington Producers Room at Toi Poneke Arts Centre. InterMISSION brings together emerging and established theatre practitioners to address questions of importance for our artform, our audiences and ourselves as theatre practitioners.

InterMISSION forums are supported by Creative Communities funding through Creative NZ and Wellington City Council.

The next two forums are scheduled for:

Monday 16 May, 6pm – How do we enrol each other as collaborators? This question will be explored through a staged conversation, in which two established theatre makers will discuss working together on a theatre project.

Thursday 9 June, 6pm - How do we discuss as peers, each others work in a meaningful and supportive way to encourage greater rigour in our practice? This question will be explored through a forum discussing the recent work Death and the Dreamlife of Elephants.
