Working with diverse groups and networks

Presented by The Arts Enterprise Zone

Seminar with Ariane Barnes. The Dword Seminar combines an exciting lecture and discussion on the "Big D's"; Diversity, Difference, Discrimination and a host of others. Ask your questions, meet some people, take some food for thought and create your own brand of change! For the full programme and to register please click here.

" The Dword seminar,deals with promoting awareness and change in the performance industry through examining the choices made in our industry at every level when it comes to 'Diversity'.

It also delves into accounts from BAME performers themselves, (both recent graduates and veterans) and how we can begin to deconstruct the problems faced in our industry by approaching it on all levels; writing, casting, directing, education and performance. The seminar encourages students and professionals to remove themselves from their own ' world view' in order to better understand others, create diversity in all forms and no longer be afraid of Diversity and Difference ".
