Step into the Bankstown Arts Centre’s rehearsal space and join your peers for a tightly knit exploration of audience diversity and how we build it. The atmosphere is informal but the 3 hours of time together, will reveal clever examples and a cohesive process for developing audience diversity.
Join your peers and our guest speaker Kristine Landon-Smith, Artistic Director with UK-based ‘Tamasha’ theatre and NIDA Lecturer. TNN’s guest facilitator, Fiona Winning, Head of Programming Sydney Festival 2015, will weave us through a truly connected conversation designed to focus on what we do well, what we need to do it, as well as some actions to take away.
We all have our own experiences of audience diversity but what does it take to really achieve it? TNN’s guest speaker, Kristine Landon-Smith, Artistic Director with UK-based Tamasha and NIDA Lecturer.

- Rosie Dennis (Urban Theatre Projects)
