ACE hires Myers and Millman to assess the state of the theatre sector
Former Southbank Centre director of performing arts Jodi Myers and creative industries consultant Anne Millman have been appointed by Arts Council England to head up its wide-ranging investigation into the state of the theatre sector.
The review, which was revealed by The Stage earlier this year, will be the largest undertaking of its kind since the Theatre Review in 2001 and will influence future ACE funding.
As well as her work at the Southbank Centre, Myers has also served as director of Warwick Arts Centre and was previously deputy director of touring at the arts council. Millman has previously worked as a consultant for organisations such as the BBC, the Old Vic and the Royal Court theatres. These two independent consultants will work alongside ACE director of theatre strategy Barbara Matthews, while former Leicester Haymarket artistic director Kully Thiarai and circus and street art expert Pippa Bailey have also been brought on as advisors.
The review is expected to be complete by autumn this year.
