‘Whoever comes are the right people’ is the first principle of Open Space Technology, which is the technique the Exeter Northcott will use to inspire a theatrical revolution in the South West.
Apparently Open Space Technology (which sounds like standing around chatting) was pioneered in the UK by Improbable Theatre.
“Our vision is to have every corner of the building buzzing with conversations, heated debate and quiet coffees about what theatre is and what it can be here in Exeter and across the South West,” says the Northcott.
“Anyone can come and start or join a discussion and if you’ve had enough, you can go and join another one or start one of your own. We aim to ask questions, slay a few demons, share our inspirations and come up with a few ideas to take theatre forward.”
This redefining of South West theatre takes place on Saturday, June 13 between 10am-6pm and Sunday, June 14, 10am-2pm.
And unless you’re thinking the right people are those who pay (a weekend ticket is £20/£10), lunch on Saturday is included in the ticket price, free refreshments are available all day and all ticket holders receive a full printed report of the discussions that take place on the first day, so don’t be so cynical and get using that open space!
