Last Chance! Booking for Experiencing Theatres Closes 5 June
Inspired theatres design can help develop, diversify and deliver audiences. The Theatres Trust Conference 09 considers how different approaches to theatre architecture attract and influence audiences in different ways.
You will learn how scale, style and sensitivity associated with auditoria design, way-finding, facilities, and building management make a difference to the atmosphere and energy of a theatre and how they help make audiences feel welcome and receptive to the live, shared theatre experience.
The conference will also focus on opportunities within the Building Schools for the Future programme to engage young people in theatres design. Join architects, designers and theatre industry professionals and contribute to the principles of designing theatres to meet the needs of modern audiences.
Chairs: David Benedict, Bonnie Greer, Andrew Dickson, John E McGrath
