For more information about the project, click on: [popup FURTHER INFORMATION] Theatre Spectatorship and Value Attribution 1.WHAT IS THIS PROJECT? ‘Theatre Spectatorship and Value Attribution’ is a research study looking at how theatre audiences value the experience of attending performances. The focus is on the self-reported description of experiences of individuals who attend the theatre, which will be gathered mainly through online questionnaires. You can also volunteer to be interviewed or take part in a creative workshop.. We will also tap memory by asking some subjects about a performance they saw one year ago. We hope the benefit of this project lies in the contribution of the findings to questions about cultural value and how it is produced and defined—an important topic within debates about government funding for the arts. 2. WHO ARE THE PARTNERS AND PRINCIPAL LEADERS OF THIS PROJECT? This project is led by the University of Warwick, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and is carried out in collaboration with Royal Holloway University of London, Manchester Metropolitan University, and The British Theatre Consortium (BTC), a small think-tank of academics and artists. Professor Janelle Reinelt (Warwick) is the principal investigator, and Professor Dan Rebellato of Royal Holloway and Lecturer Julie Wilkinson of Manchester Metropolitan are co-investigators. The playwright David Edgar is consultant to the project –all are members of the BTC. In addition, the project has three theatre partners: the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Young Vic, and the Drum Theatre in Plymouth, who are facilitating this research. 3. HOW CAN YOU BE INVOLVED? You would provide information to the research team before, right after, and two months after the production you see by filling out 3 online questionnaires; and you can also volunteer for a follow-up interview or creative workshop. The interview would be conducted by one of the team’s post-graduate student researchers and would last approximately 30 minutes, and might be audio-recorded. It can take place either at the theatre or over the phone. The creative workshop will have no more than ten participants and will last two hours. It will take place in a space at the theatre, and will be conducted by Julie Wilkinson who is a playwright and teaches creative writing and theatre practice and might be audio or video recorded. If you take part in the study your data will be anonymised and stored on secure computer servers at the University of Warwick for a duration of 10 years, at which point it will be permanently destroyed. If at any time you wish to withdraw from the study you may of course do so without giving any reason, at any point. If you have further questions, contact {email for project}.
