Case Studies
Along with my colleague Laura Drane, I am putting together a new website for the Arts Council that will be called www.getintotheatre.org
It is a national site aimed at young people with an interest in working in the theatre industry and will give information on the huge variety of jobs that people do in the industry — both as employees and as freelancers and in building-based and street arts/ circus environments.
We are looking for inspiring case studies of people working in the industry (costume designers, street arts agencies, pyrotechnicians, circus performers, sound and lighting designers/ engineers etc etc) to feature on the site.
