I work across disciplines in theatre, music, visual arts, festival, film, community and education. Each project or event is carefully tailored, drawing on a network of contacts, partner organisations and talented individuals offering a unique and professional package. Address 66 Murray Street As a cultural sector practitioner, I’m credited over the years with projects ranging from York, YO24 4JA producing the huge Bradford Mela Festival (with over 200,000 attendees) to event managing tel 07970 950552 the York Mystery Plays. From co-ordinating a young people’s carnival parade in Sri Lanka to mail [email protected] project managing the Illuminating York Festival. url benpugh.wordpress.com twitter twitter.com/benpugh I have commissioned and delivered work in a wide range of settings – from the Mumbai slums to New York; encompassing public parks, heritage sites, theatres, museums, galleries, town squares, botanical gardens; everything from rugged moors to NCP car-parks. Having worked with numerous different organisations running a huge variety of projects, I’ve built up a clear picture of what makes for successful engagement, what makes a successful project and what is viable with the available resources. Pulling these three strands together and making all three elements work is always a personal challenge driven by a desire to help people realise their vision. I offer a range of skills for individual projects, from a commitment to delivering long-term strategic development and bringing together partners, to the actual realisation ‘on site’ of events. From planning to fund-raising to the co-ordination of volunteers; managing contractors and stakeholders as well as all the practical infra-structure, I pay attention to the detail to ensure a thorough and consistent approach throughout the life-time of the project to help fully realise its potential. As a management consultant, I’ve provided strategic support and organisational development to a number of cultural sector organisations. On-going questions about how business engages with the local community; how the arts can influence and feed regeneration; and what the sectors can offer to or learn from each other, continually permeate my approach to each individual project. As well as a degree in Technical Theatre I hold a Post Graduate Professional Diploma in Management and I’m currently in my the final stage of studying for an MBA with the Open University. I’ve completed modules in Managing Performance and Change, Strategy, Managing Creativity and Innovation and Marketing Strategy. I work to stay current and have undertaken training in numerous areas ranging from Prince2 Project Management to counter terrorism planning. I’m a member of various of trade associations and am proud to be a Fellow of the RSA. Full details of all projects and clients can been seen on my webpages at www.benpugh.wordpress.com.

  • The Cultural Value of South Asian Arts
    Cultural Value The Cultural Value of South Asian Arts Dr Jasjit Singh, University of Leeds 1 THE CULTURAL VALUE OF SOUTH ASIAN ARTS The Cultural Value of South Asian Arts Dr Jasjit Singh Executive Summary This report examines the cultural value of South Asian Arts in Britain by reviewing literature about the place of South Asian Arts in Britain and their impact on individuals and society. Beginning by discussing how the place of minority ethnic arts has been articulated by funders and policy makers, the report then discusses the different types of South Asian arts in Britain. Following this, literature about the value of these art forms is explored using a framework developed by the Arts Council which examines cultural value by focusing on economic, health, societal and educational benefits. Literature was gathered by structuring searches around four areas in particular; reports and research produced by funding bodies; annual reports and ephemera produced by South Asian Arts organisations; magazines which publish articles relating to South Asian Arts and academic research which examines the lives of South Asians themselves. In addition an online survey was developed which was advertised through social media and through the various networks created by the above engagement. As well as asking about the different types of minority ethnic events which the participants engage in, the survey examined what value was attached to this engagement. This report demonstrates the important role played by South Asian arts both for individuals from South Asian backgrounds and for the wider public. One of its key findings is that South Asian arts plays an important role across the generations highlighting the role of culturally relevant arts for older South Asians, and allowing young South Asians new ways in which to engage with their heritage.
