Culture & Society RKEI Public Lecture Series: Arts for the future – Theatr Clwyd, what does a modern arts institution need to become?
Start Date: 22 October 2024 6:00 pm
End Date: 22 October 2024 7:15 pm
Location: CRV 139, Wheeler
Liam Evans-Ford, Executive Director and CEO of Theatr Clwyd, is our first speaker in this academic year’s ‘Culture & Society RKEI Public Lecture Series’. Theatr Clwyd is the largest producing theatre in Wales and one of the major cultural centres in our region, so do join us to hear about the future of the theatre and of the regional arts more generally too.
Under Liam’s leadership, Theatr Clwyd has gone from strength to strength. The theatre is currently in the midst of a multimillion-pound refurbishment that will transform the original 1976 building into an open and airy cultural hub. When the theatre reopens in its refurbished home in 2025, it will boast new studios, rehearsal spaces as well as a brand new restaurant. Yet, there is more to the arts than just a physical space, which is why in this talk, Liam will also consider the important role that Theatr Clwyd can play in the region for health, wellbeing and for shaping young people’s lives.
This will be a fantastic talk, essential listening for anyone interested in arts, culture and the North West of the UK and North Wales in particular. All welcome!
