Spun Glass Theatre research survey
Our clients, Spun Glass Theatre and Soundcastle are collaborating on a piece of research to inform the development of a programme for Early Years audiences.
The research seeks to uncover the barriers that can prevent a diversity of artists and performers to make work for children aged 0-5 and their families.
Spun Glass Theatre wishes to be able to programme a broad range of diverse performers at their events at The Mini Playhouse in Hastings. The desire is to offer as rich a programme for an Early Years audience as would be offered to an adult audience.
If you are working in the cultural sector as a performing artist or creator please take a few moments out to complete this survey and consider sharing with others.
The aims of the research are to:
- survey at least 100 artists to identify barriers to making work for Early Years audiences and their families
- design opportunities/commissions/training to be delivered for the next 3 years through Spun Glass Theatre & partner organisations
- develop a network of artists who would benefit from training & commissioning opportunities
- publish the findings to invite others to share and comment
