503Studio How To…Embed Diversity and Inclusion Into Your Creative Life

We are at a critical point in our industry’s history with challenges and opportunities in equal measure. Now, more than ever, we need to ensure we break down barriers to accessing and progressing in the industry. As you embark on your creative activities, from the seed of an idea, full production up to how a company develops and implements its core aims and objectives, we offer a practical session equipping you with a starter kit to ensure diversity and inclusion is embedded in everything you do.

Change management expert and 503 Board member, Zena Tuitt, will lead a session translating words into action alongside Artistic Director, Lisa Spirling.

Theatre503’s How To… are Pay What You Can, thanks to Arts Council England’s Emergency Grant and our Share The Drama scheme.

If you would like to discuss any access requirements and how we can accommodate them, prior to booking, please get in touch with us.
