We are looking for individuals with an emerging or established career in UK theatre who would like to participate in a research project on global majority workers in theatre, conducted in collaboration with the University of Leicester.
The project: Where am I? Global Majority role models and leaders in the performing arts will explore workforce diversity in theatre. Workers of global majority backgrounds are under-represented in the cultural industries workforce. This AHRC-funded Clore Leadership Programme project explores the implications of this under-representation for global majority workers’ career aspirations. It will particularly focus on the importance of global majority role models for developing a more diverse workforce and asks how much do we need to see ourselves reflected in our role models?
We are looking for participants to discuss these questions in a focus group. A focus group is a collective discussion led by a researcher and you would be one of 5-8 participants. The focus group will be held in the morning of Monday 21 November, in London. We welcome interest to participate from individuals of any ethnic background.
If you are interested in this project ( even if you cannot attend the London focus group) and would like to receive further information, please contact Suzanne Gorman at suzanne@mayaproductions.co.uk.
