Theatre in Schools Aotearoa - TYA sector consultation

Theatre in Schools Aotearoa - sector survey

Inspired by successful international projects, I am looking into developing a nationwide touring service to bring existing professional theatre and dance to children aged 3-13 years in their schools and early childhood centres. The project aims to reach children throughout Aotearoa every term of the school year, whilst supporting a thriving performing arts ecology. As a valued TYA practitioner, your participation will help us understand the current appetite for school touring, the challenges faced, and what this kind of service could look like here. If you have any questions please contact me directly: Lynne Cardy lcardy53@gmail.com

Buy-in (like a festival season, your existing work is bought and you are paid a fee for the tour up front)

Co-production (your existing work is bought, you are paid a fee for your work up front for the school tour, and you also schedule and manage your own public performances within the tour dates)
