Spotlight On

Spotlight On events are practical panel-led information and networking events focussing on a topic relevant to the performing arts, run in association with our partner organisations.

They provide a 'spotlight on' one specific area or topical issue relevant to the performing arts. Each high quality stand-alone session is delivered by a panel of experienced guest speakers who offer a concise practical and informative introduction to the topic. There is plenty of opportunity for discussion and debate plus further signposting to allow participants to pursue the issues raised in the way which suits them best.

In 2010 our Spotlight On programme will tour the North West region, calling at:

  • Lancashire in March, in partnership with Nuffield Theatre
  • Cheshire in June, in partnership with Chester Performs
  • Cumbria in September, in partnership with Brewery Arts Centre
  • Merseyside in December, in partnership with The Bluecoat

See full details of all of our forthcoming and past Spotlight On programmes.
