A strategic approach to working in the arts is required if the sector is to survive and thrive in these uncertain times, delegates at the recent Victorian Theatre Forum (VTF) were told.
The forum, presented in early August by Theatre Network Australia (TNA) and hosted by Geelong’s Back to Back Theatre, was subtitled ‘On Advocacy, Empowerment, and Asking For What You Need’. It acknowledged the challenges of making art in a time of rising global tensions, political and ecological uncertainty, and the recent turmoil experienced by the sector nationally.
