Artistic Vision for Derby LIVE
Derby LIVE has a mission to:
Present and produce a diverse programme of quality LIVE performance for Derby, developing participation and partnerships and maximising business opportunities.
Derby LIVE = Excellence + Diversity
Derby LIVE’s vision for producing theatre is neither separate to, nor separable from, Derby LIVE’s vision as a whole. Derby LIVE aims to achieve an artistic communitas through creativity, connectivity and complementarity.
Under Derby LIVE all the performing art-forms have equal status and are programmed across all venues. Product is programmed into venues on the basis of “Best Fit” determined by artistic and technical requirements, financial viability and anticipated audience size.
Getting the best theatre to the most people
Derby LIVE’s vision is being systematically developed and refined as it undergoes an intensive three-year period of action research. This is entirely appropriate for an operation which is a learning organisation and which places reflective practice at its heart. The vision is being developed through
ongoing, rigorous internal monitoring and evaluation, as well as through regular external consultations. These include consultations with its Advisory Board, its panel of Artistic Associates, selected consultants and relevant Arts Council members of staff.
The values and principles upon which Derby LIVE is based are not, however, subject to change.
