Redefining What a Theatre Company Can Be â Diversifying Programming and Theatrical Form,
2:00-3:00 PM
Presenters: Jason Schlafstein, Navid Azeez, Jonathan Rubin
Track: Arts Organizations
There is often a stigma within the Theater Industry and Community about what constitutes a Theatrical Performance, and from the outside about what going to the Theatre will be like. As Event and Experience based programming becomes more and more popular to audiences, and traditional ideas about the Theatrical Experience become a bigger and bigger barrier to entry for new audiences, how can a diversification of programming break those barriers, help create new audiences, and stay on mission? In the past year Flying V has expanded programming to include Podcast Audio Dramas, Professional Wrestling, Interactive Gaming Events, with more planned in 2020. Weâd love to discuss these decisions, their successes and challenges, and engage in a discussion about programming and artistic innovation and diversification with other companies and thought leaders.
