Highlights include: “We take our civic duty really seriously and we want to be a space for anyone whether you are buying a ticket, whether you’re participating in something, whether you need shelter from the rain.”
“There’s still so much uncertainty as to where we’ll be even week to week in terms of planning.”
“We’ve come to terms with the fact that we’re not going to reopen at all to the public this year because we’re such a small space.”
“The sector has to be together. We’re not all acting alone. That’s our thinking. We’re interlinked.”
“We really want a culture that’s better. We want something that is much more firmly built on foundations of equality, sustainability and love. We’re listening to the organisations and individuals that we’re connected to and also asking who’s not in the room and why.”
“We’re doing a lot of fundraising to find ways to get money to artists. We’re very aware that people are leaving the industry with every day that passes. We’ve had some success with that and are hopeful that some of the other applications that are pending will be successful too.”
“2021 is really, really busy. (Rescheduling plus everything that was already pencilled).”
“It’s like programming on sand. It disappears and changes all the time.”
“It’s like programming on sand. It disappears and changes all the time.”
“I’m sure there may be more live streaming and ticketing. Offering things for free isn’t necessarily the way to go now. People need to pay for things.”
“We have spaces that can be booked at no financial risk – that’s a huge part of our work. We’re really keen to find a way of getting back into that – everything will be dependent on government guidance.”
