Theatre for Activism: Rest Up

April 27-28, 2023 / 12pm - 5pm ET

Virtual

The deep-rooted connection between theatre and activism has recently intensified both within and beyond the theatre sector. Movements like #MeToo, We See You White American Theater, and No More 10 Out of 12s have reshaped our field; while theatre artists are increasingly on the front lines of labor organizing, racial justice, climate action, and more.

Theatre for Activism (T4A) is a three-part series of gatherings that will strengthen care, share practices, and forge connections between current theatre activists as well as those just beginning that work.Building on TCG’s strategic priorities, T4A will work to center BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and disabled theatre people who are so often leading these movements.

On April 27-28, TCG will first convene Rest Up, a virtual gathering to share practices of self and collective care.

New Audience Behavior and Redefining Loyalty

February - June 2023

Virtual (for TCG Members)

The pandemic has drastically accelerated an already downward trend in subscription sales, coupled with sharp drops in single ticket sales and unpredictable audience behavior trends, all of which has had a domino effect on the financial stability of our organizations. This working group will dive into new experimental subscription, membership, ticketing, and budgeting models theatres of various sizes are rolling out; as well as longtime practices of organizations that are seeing less decline or otherwise faring better through this transitional time. This group will also feature generative conversations with peers about shared challenges and opportunities in navigating this new terrain of audience loyalty and attendance patterns.

Data in the Driver’s Seat

February - June 2023

Virtual (for TCG Members)

There is a growing amount of data and research emerging across cultural fields about audience trends in the “post-pandemic” era. Deeper dives into these studies can help ground new audience engagement approaches in a clearer and comprehensive understanding of what is happening across performing arts disciplines, why that might be, and what might be coming down the pike. This group will hear from a variety of researchers, data sets, and case studies and will discuss how the findings tie together and can inform the development of new practices across the theatre field.
