About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be speaking with an expert in the field of inclusive theatre consulting. Can you tell us a bit about your personal experiences and insights related to this course topic? GUEST: Absolutely, I've spent years working as a theatre practitioner, and I've seen firsthand how important it is to make performances accessible and inclusive. This course has equipped me with the skills to consult on these practices, ensuring diverse voices are heard in the arts. HOST: That's fascinating. Could you share some current industry trends that are relevant to this program? GUEST: Certainly, there's a growing emphasis on diversity and inclusion across all sectors of the arts. Audiences are demanding more representation, and theatre companies are recognizing the value of inclusive practices. HOST: Yes, that's a significant shift. But I imagine there must be challenges in implementing these changes. What have you found to be the most pressing issues? GUEST: One of the main challenges is changing the mindset of those who've been in the industry for a long time. It can be difficult to convince people of the importance of inclusivity, especially when it requires significant changes to traditional practices. HOST: That's a valid point. Now, looking towards the future, where do you see this area or industry heading? GUEST: I believe we're going to see a lot more emphasis on inclusivity in the coming years. Theatre companies that fail to adapt will likely struggle to attract audiences, so it's crucial that we continue to promote and teach these practices. HOST: Thank you for sharing your insights. It's been a pleasure talking with you today. GUEST: Likewise, thank you for having me. It's always great to discuss the importance of inclusive theatre consulting.
