Audience engagement
We will consider planning for engaging audiences in your collective and individual plans. We will consider existing plans for engagement among the cohort and then look at what possibilities there are for generating new connections. We will work in groups to feedback on individual plans to one another then as groups to feedback to whole cohort on strategies for audience engagement.
Group Work
In your sub groups discuss/draw out the following:
- Each person share (in 2-3 mins) in the round.
- What forms and methods of audience/participant engagement might you use in your project?
- What are your goals for engaging audiences? (Who are you doing this for and why?)
- As a group now feedback on each individual’s ideas in the round.
- Do the forms and methods of engagement align with the goals?
- What other possible forms of engagement might be considered?
- As a whole cohort now discuss (feedback per group to whole room):
- How will you host and look after your audience? What might you need to do this and how might you support one another to do so?
- Will you have framing devices for the whole programme for example, opening or closing collective events? What might these be?
- How will you document the event? Will this become part of individual or collective projects and if so what strategies might you employ? Consider diverse audiences and consent.
