About: Level 1 (In Development) - by: Annabel Turpin

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 12:57:02 GMT

Thanks for your comment regarding the presentation of Level 1 at 4pm. I appreciate that scheduling the presentation at 4pm does exclude some audiences, but it also makes it more accessible to others - non-working people, and those who prefer not to travel into Stockton in the evenings for example. Whilst the majority of ARC's events and activities do take place during the evenings, our remit is to provide activity for the whole community so presenting some activity during the day helps us reach some audiences who would otherwise miss out. The other consideration for this particular piece of work is that it was not a fully-finished performance, but the sharing of work 'in development', to give audiences the opportunity to see how work is created. It was also about showing the potential of the work to other arts professionals - people who might become funders, programmers or partners in the future of the work, and therefore it was placed within the 'working day' to encourage them to attend. Finally, the event was streamed live online so anyone anywhere in the world with an Internet connection could watch the presentation without having to travel to Stockton, which definitely helped us reach new audiences. I hope this explains our reasons for the timing of this event.
