Amplify Membership Survey 2024

Amplify Membership Survey 2024

This is an opportunity for you to inform and influence the future of AMPLIFY
It's that time of year again, and a year since I first started in post at Nottingham Playhouse.

Last year 33 artists filled in the feedback form. Data collected from that form directly impacted and informed provision and plans for this year.

If forms are the worst for you, and you'd prefer to go through this over a zoom / call / in person, please email me at beccy.dsouza.01@nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk and we can arrange it. Obviously the feedback won't be anonymised in that case, as I'll be aware it's from you - but I'll go through the form with you and the data will be anonymised from that point.
ABOUT THE DATA COLLECTED IN THIS FORM

This data is not identifiable to any individual.

It will be collated along with our other Amplify survey responses and used to

(a) report back to our funders

(b) evaluate the impact of Amplify for artists in the region

(c) consider how we can work with Amplify artists to improve and enhance Nottingham Playhouse' relationship with artists and artist development

What, if anything, would you like Amplify to do more of?
What, if anything, would you like Amplify to do less of?
Are there any ideas for events, workshops or initiatives that you'd like to suggest?
'Cold Reads' is currently on hold. The plan is to relaunch these events in Spring 2024. I would welcome your input in planning for its future. Cold Reads is a session which is primarily for actors and writers to come together and read excerpts of scripts aloud for the first time. Actors get to flex their acting muscles and writers get to hear their words read and performed, and to receive feedback if they wish. Attendance at earlier sessions was a good mix of writers and performers, later sessions were reasonably writer-heavy. I'd welcome thoughts on whether these sessions are wanted, useful, and whether there is anything that would make them more appealing to you as an artist.
Any other thoughts, reflections or comments?
