COMMON: GROUND in the South East

Farnham Maltings is partnering with COMMON and arts organisations across the south east on a programme of events under the banner COMMON: GROUND in the South East, in locations across the region, to ensure we hear from as broad a range of artists as possible.

The first session will be held at: Corn Exchange Newbury on Tuesday 30 July, from 19:00 until 21:30 in partnership with the Corn Exchange Newbury and The Watermill Theatre, Newbury.

Further sessions are being planned for September, October and November 2019.

COMMON: GROUND is a series of supportive discussions for working and under-class theatre artists and creatives who live and work in the south east. The sessions are an opportunity for dialogue; for those attending to share examples of the barriers they face to their career progression, and identify solutions as to how the participating theatre organisations can more effectively support working and under-class artists in the region.

These conversations are captured as part of COMMON’s research into the scale of the challenges faced by working and under-class artists nationally.

All events will be wheelchair-accessible, baby/child friendly and inclusive of working and under-class artists from intersectional backgrounds across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, gender binaries and visible and non-visible disabilities or illness.

Please call 01252 745424 or email emily.davis@farnhammaltings.com to book your place, and/or if you have any specific requirements, questions, travel or access needs.
