The ‘D’ Word – nitroBEAT and Barbican

New possibilities for cultural diversity within London’s theatre and live art scene.

Suite of talks, discussions and interaction with visionaries, thinkers & do-ers.
A sector-led, thought-provoking and exciting blend of ideas – with inspirational presentations and brilliant conversation.

A nitroBEAT and Barbican event in association with the Unicorn Theatre, Theatre Royal Stratford East, Soho Theatre, In Between Time, Tamasha and Tricycle Theatre. The ‘D’ Word was a dynamic antidote for ‘diversity issues fatigue’ that aimed to re-ignite conversations that build and sustain excellence and cultural diversity within theatre and live art.

This daylong event brought together artists, arts organisations, policy makers and funders to share ideas and develop ways to collaborate that support creative voices which truly reflect London’s diverse talent and audiences.

Live: A suite of short, carefully prepared rigorous and informed talks by innovators and influencers; discussions in small groups that were idea-focused to provoke conversations that matter; informal networking and future visioning.

Online: Live reporting via social media and an accessible video resource of all the talks http://www.nitrobeat.co.uk/projects/d-word/
