Wez Builds a Theatre

Wez suggests a new artistic job role for his Old Trafford Theatre - The data curator!

Faz imagines how he could create a 'pre-theatre' to get his mum into the arts and make the arts seem a viable career in his community.

This week we talk about insights with Dr Matilda Andersson from Crowd DNA! How do we get to know what audiences and participants really want? To understand them so deeply we know them almost better than they know themselves?

It's a Euros Special! Sheffield Theatres producer, John Tomlinson, tells us about the theatre he'd love to build in his hometown, as we ask 'What can theatre learn from sport?'

Wez talks to Josh about drive through style box offices, class and the philosophy of 'It Is What It Is'.

This week we uncover what producing is. How do you get something to the stage? Along the way we talk about living in the Venezuelan Embassy, creating and touring a girl band and burn out culture.

This week we talk to the Artistic Director of Stand and Be Counted Theatre Company about what her theatre would be. Much like her theatre company her theatre focuses on creating a place of sanctuary for refugees and asylum seekers. We also discuss the potential death of theatre, Shakespeare being overhyped and rolling up a rebellious festival wagon outside other theatres.

It's happening! This episode we hear from a listener about the theatre they have been building along with the podcast! The listener is Rory Aaron and we talk about working class towns, paying participants and butchers beads.
