Have your say at www.ntw-research.org.uk A researcher at Aberystwyth University is investigating what audiences think about National Theatre Wales' first year of work. There is a real lack of knowledge about what audiences get out of going to the theatre, with very few projects interested in talking to audiences about what they think and feel about performances. This general problem becomes a really significant one when a theatre company is trying to do something innovative, like NTW. NTW began working in March this year and have already produced seven shows, one per month, with six more planned before April 2011. They aim to ‘create bold, invigorating theatre in the English language, rooted in Wales, with an international reach’, and to engage and involve their audiences ‘in surprising ways and unexpected places’. This research hopes to explore the extent to which actual audiences feel they have achieved these goals. It doesn't matter whether you've seen only one performance or all of them so far: the NTW Audience Research Project would love to hear your thoughts. A quick online questionnaire is available at http://www.ntw-research.org.uk, or contact Kirsty Sedgman at kis09@aber.ac.uk (TFTS Dept, Aberystwyth University, SY23 2AX). The questionnaire will only take a few minutes to complete, and you will be making a huge contribution to this research and to a field of study which up until now has been neglected. |
