  • ANNUAL REPORT of the UNIVERSITY Docx
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE UNIVERSITY THEATRE SYNDICATE, 2008 – 9 This year, as well as being one of celebration for the University, was also a year of celebration for the ADC Theatre, as it reflected on the completion of many long-term objectives. October 2008 saw the completion of the redevelopment that had started in 2003 and the beginning of a new set of opportunities for the Theatre. The last phase of the building work included the rebuilding of the workshop and dressing rooms, and the creation of a rehearsal and performance studio (The Larkum Studio, named for former Sidney Sussex Bursar and Chairman of the ADC Theatre Executive Committee Charles Larkum). It also saw the installation of a platform lift which allows disabled access to the stage area for the first time in the theatre’s history. The changes were evidently popular with the theatre’s audience, with audience figures breaking the momentous 50,000 mark for the first time in the theatre’s history, as it welcomed 53,000 visitors over 353 performances. Programme Review The Autumn season once again opened with a production from the Cambridge University American Stage Tour: Henry V , which claimed an unprecedented six stars from Varsity. Also back from tour was the Edinburgh sell-out, Devils , written and performed by the Cambridge Footlights. The redeveloped building was re-opened to a selection of alumni and current students with a performance of an exciting new musical written by Cambridge students called Hero , which had also enjoyed a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival. The gala evening was attended by Sir Peter Hall (guest of honour) and Sir Trevor Nunn, and a number of volunteers involved in the building project were invited.

We work in partnership and put people and the planet first. nef centres for: global thriving well-being future interdependence communities economy nef (the new economics foundation) is a registered charity founded in 1986 by the leaders of The Other Economic Summit (TOES), which forced issues such as international debt onto the agenda of the G8 summit meetings. It has taken a lead in helping establish new coalitions and organisations such as the Jubilee 2000 debt campaign; the Ethical Trading Initiative; the UK Social Investment Forum; and new ways to measure social and economic well-being. The year 2007 marked the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA), an independent body funded by subscriptions from UK universities and colleges of higher education, and through contracts with the main UK higher education funding bodies. Its mission is to ‘safeguard the public interest in sound standards of higher education qualifications and to inform and encourage continuous improvement in the management of the quality of higher education’. Following its anniversary, nef’s centre for well- being was asked to outline a bold vision of quality higher education to help challenge and shape the Agency’s work over the next 10 years. This paper presents our thoughts and ideas.
