Time to think… and take collective action.
From truth comes courage and from courage comes change.
The Vital Spark Symposium will be unapologetic about where the Performance for Young Audiences (PYA) sector is and how far it needs to go to reshape traditional approaches and become truly relevant and inclusive.
It will be a reflective, supportive and action focused space for artists, directors, programmers, venues, practitioners, and funders to come together and learn from one another.
Panellists include: Daryl Beeton (Artistic Director, Daryl and Co, Associate Vital Spark Company), Titilola Dawudu (Writer/Programmer/Producer and Associate Dramaturg at The Bush Theatre), Christopher Gorry (Artistic Director, The Spark Arts for Children and Trustee, Zest Theatre), Abid Hussain (Director, Diversity, Arts Council England) and Keisha Thompson (Artistic Director/CEO, Contact).
