Summary:

"Across the world, higher education and the actor and performer training sector are undergoing significant changes in response to the creative, economic and social effects of the global pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, and digital technologies. Be the Change: Learning and Teaching for the Creative Industries considers what change needs to look like within performance training and what we can do to create it. Each chapter captures insights from performing arts industry and educational experts, with reflections from high profile actors and practitioners. The focus is on action, not talk, seeking to provide those teaching, facilitating and leading performance training with ideas and practical steps to work differently. This book considers the training provider's role in increasing representation and inclusivity, looking forward to a sustainable and resilient future. Whilst efforts to broaden access have had some success, for too long, people have felt excluded from audiences and from careers in the industry. Enabling future practitioners includes care of well-being, facilitating structured approaches to intimate scenes and adopting sustainable practices. International perspectives are captured to consider global systemic change, focussing on the core question: what next?"-- Provided by publisher.
