All events will provide Zoom automated transcription in English. Other access services can be requested in the booking form and will be provided where possible. Please book as soon as possible to allow time for arrangements to be made. For further information please contact us at events@theaudienceagency.org
We will reflect back what we’ve heard from the sector and provide a chance for members of the sector to reflect on our summary.
We’d like to know if what we share accurately summarises the key challenges and opportunities for the touring sector? Are there elements we’ve overlooked, or that we should express differently?
The session will highlight some of the key themes that have emerged and give participants a chance to add to them, or ask us questions. We’re keen to hear voices from across the sector to help co-create the research report and to share solutions and responses to the issues covered.
We will be enabling live captions and alt-text for any images we use and will provide BSL interpretation for both events, please request when booking.
Two sessions are available: Wednesday 16 April, 2-4pm and Tuesday 22 April, 10am-12pm. Both sessions have the same content, so you only need to book onto one.
