V&A Innovative Leadership 2015/16 Programme 14th October 2015 - 20th July 2016 What participants say: “The innovative course is an excellent opportunity to take time out from usual hectic schedules to take stock and focus on vital leadership and management self-development. It also provides tools and material that have immediate value in terms of supporting solutions for organisational challenges, and long term sustainability.” “The programme provided the opportunity I had been looking for – time away from the day job to think hard about my practice as a museum professional, and in turn for my teams. I have come away from the programme inspired.” "In just a year I feel I have come a long way which is what I had hoped when I started the course. The course helped build my confidence and has made me realise my potential. It gave me the confidence to go for a promotion which I have since got." "This programme is refreshingly different from other offers in the UK in going beyond bite-sized management information: management and leadership are explored through inspirational lectures by leaders who provide an authentic insight into their work; several real-life assignments at the V&A and other culture institutions gave my fellow participants and me ample opportunity to practice and gain experience. I have met extraordinary people from institutions across the country, and formed strong links. The action learning sets have been one of the key ingredients in my opinion. My action learning set continues to meet: we learn from each other, and grow together." “It has improved my confidence which has in turn improved my effectiveness in dealing with challenging situations. While I have always wanted to ‘make things work’ I now have a clearer vision of the motivation of others, how best to harness their skills, what makes a successful team and how to ‘get the job done’. Since completing the course I have asked to chair our fortnightly section meetings, something I would not necessarily have embraced (or expected) before, but do now!” "I appreciated the value of that fluidity and the sessions felt much more collaborative, rather than being lectured at. The use of external speakers was great" "I found many of the speakers very inspirational.” “Steve Chapman was a genius” “Steve Chapman, Nik Joshi, Dawn Austwick, Henry Stewart, Kasper Holten. They all gave me something to think about and were inspiring speakers.” “I thought the session by Steve Chapman [was] excellent. James [Wilson] is a great group facilitator, organiser, sounding board and leader!” “I loved the format, and the guest speakers.” “I loved the combination of play and theory” "The contacts I made through the course have been excellent" “[Working with colleagues from different organisations, helped] an enormous amount. It was extremely useful to chew over ideas with different people, listen to advice and opinion, visit different venues and laugh hysterically and similar holes we have fallen in to!! “ “The month after the course finished I took on the new role of Acting CEO [ ]. Learnings from the V&A course have been essential in giving me the confidence to take this on” V&A Innovative Leadership Programme What is V&A Innovative Leadership?

John Higgins, Executive coach and Research Consultant John has been an active organisational consultant, researcher, tutor, and coach for nearly 30 years. His particular focus covers organisational and individual change; leadership and leadership development. His work draws on a mix of practical experience, academic rigour, ongoing research, and intensive psychoanalytic conditioning ‐ for John believes that for leaders to understand the way they lead, they need to gain awareness of the shadows of their past – otherwise they will meet these shadows again and again. To go with his many years of leading, designing, and supporting complex organisational engagements, John has worked extensively with leading practitioners and researchers in the field of consulting and leadership to produce an important number of books. John is passionate about the poetry of T.S. Eliot Steve Chapman, Chief Adventurer, Can Scorpions Smoke? Ltd “My main role in life is as a Daddy and a Husband but when not doing that I’m consultant, writer and speaker on change, creativity, imagination and innovation. I’m fascinated as to how life (particularly in organisations) really work versus how it is supposed to work and I believe that, at their core, an organisation is simply a bunch of flawed but willing human beings engaged in complex process of relating that is as predictable as it is unpredictable. I continually ask myself and others why life in organisations is generally talked about as ordered, predictable, neat and tidy whereas life just the other side of the office doors or factory turnstile is accepted as unpredictable, spontaneous and messy. My mission is to ‘lift the curtain’ on organisational life and to help others realise that they are simply taking part in one big corporate improvisation experience.

    The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer

    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

    By Mike Klozar Have You Dreamed of Visiting London, but Felt It Would

    By Mike Klozar Have you dreamed of visiting London, but felt it would take a week or longer to sample its historic sites? Think again. You can experience some of London's best in just a couple of days. Day One. • Thames River Walk. Take a famous London Black Cab to the Tower of London. The ride is an experience, not just a taxi. (15-30 min.) • Explore the Tower of London. Keep your tour short, but be sure to check out the Crown Jewels. (1-2 hrs.) • Walk across the Tower Bridge. It's the fancy blue one. (15 min.) From here you get the best view of the Tower of London for photos. • Cross over to Butler's Wharf and enjoy lunch at one of the riverfront restaurants near where Bridget lived in Bridget Jones's Diary. (1.5 hrs.) • Keeping the Thames on your right, you'll come to the warship HMS Belfast. Tours daily 10 a.m.-4 p.m. (30 min.-1 hr.) • Walk up London Bridge Street to find The Borough Market. Used in countless films, it is said to be the city's oldest fruit and vegetable market, dating from the mid-1200s. (1 hr.) • Back on the river, you'll discover a tiny ship tucked into the docks: a replica of Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind, which braved pirates in the days of yore. (15 min.) • Notable London pubs are situated along the route and are good for a pint, a cup of tea and a deserved break. Kids are welcome.
