  • Place, Tourism and Belonging
    18 The National Theatre, London, as a theatrical/architectural object of fan imagination Matt Hills Introduction Stijn Reijnders has argued that “memory seems to play an important part in the way in which places of the imagination are experienced. In other words, one can identify a certain reciprocity between memory and imagination” ( 2011 : 113). This chapter builds on such a recognition by focusing on the “mnemonic imagination” ( Keightley & Pickering, 2012) within place-making affects. At the same time, I am responding to the question of whether it is “possible to be a fan of a destination?” ( Linden & Linden, 2017 : 110). As Rebecca Williams (2018: 104) has recently argued, we need a greater under- standing of what places can do to visitors who may not bring particular media or fan-specific imaginative expectations with them and yet may respond strongly to a particular place. What confluence of affective, emo- tional and experiential elements may cause them to become fans of that site . .? By focusing on the Royal National Theatre on the South Bank of London – usually referred to as the “National Theatre” or the “NT” – I am deliber- ately taking a case study which multiplies some of these questions, since the NT has acted as the site for both theatre fandom (Hills, 2017 ) and what has been termed “architectural enthusiasm” (Craggs et al., 2013 , 2016 ). Indeed, the National Theatre has been marked by a related doubling through- out its history (having opened in 1976 after a much-delayed construction process). For, as Daniel Rosenthal (2013 : 845) observes in The National Theatre Story , it represents “what [playwright] Tom Stoppard termed co- existent institutions: ‘One was the ideal of a national theatre; the other was the building’”.

  • Conservation Management Plan for the National Theatre Haworth Tompkins
    Conservation Management Plan For The National Theatre Final Draft December 2008 Haworth Tompkins Conservation Management Plan for the National Theatre Final Draft - December 2008 Haworth Tompkins Ltd 19-20 Great Sutton Street London EC1V 0DR Front Cover: Haworth Tompkins Ltd 2008 Theatre Square entrance, winter - HTL 2008 Foreword When, in December 2007, Time Out magazine celebrated the National Theatre as one of the seven wonders of London, a significant moment in the rising popularity of the building had occurred. Over the decades since its opening in 1976, Denys Lasdun’s building, listed Grade II* in 1994. has come to be seen as a London landmark, and a favourite of theatre-goers. The building has served the NT company well. The innovations of its founders and architect – the ampleness of the foyers, the idea that theatre doesn’t start or finish with the rise and fall of the curtain – have been triumphantly borne out. With its Southbank neighbours to the west of Waterloo Bridge, the NT was an early inhabitant of an area that, thirty years later, has become one of the world’s major cultural quarters. The river walk from the Eye to the Design Museum now teems with life - and, as they pass the National, we do our best to encourage them in. The Travelex £10 seasons and now Sunday opening bear out the theatre’s 1976 slogan, “The New National Theatre is Yours”. Greatly helped by the Arts Council, the NT has looked after the building, with a major refurbishment in the nineties, and a yearly spend of some £2million on fabric, infrastructure and equipment.

ORCHESTRATED PUBLIC SPACE The Curatorial Dimensions Of The Transformation Of London’s Southbank Centre A. Jones Keywords: Public Space, Open Space, Curation, Southbank Centre, Ethnographic ABSTRACT Since 1999, London’s Southbank Centre, an assemblage of arts venues and constituent public spaces in central London, has been undergoing a gradual ‘transformation’ that continues to this day (Southbank Centre, 2016). In addition to works to refurbish the arts venues, this transformation has involved the renewal of the public realm between, around and (most infamously) beneath those venues. Using ethnographic data I seek to unpack the curatorial dimensions of the redesign and reappropriation of public space at this site. 244 1. INTRODUCTION A curious tension characterises contemporary This paper adds to a sparse but growing writing about urban public space.

  • V&A Innovative Leadership 2015/16 Programme
    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.

The Royal Opera celebrates the 150th anniversary of Strauss’s birth with a new production of Die Frau ohne Schatten , one of three Strauss operas being presented at the Royal Opera House this Season, all with librettos by Hugo von Hofmannsthal on mythical themes. Elektra was revived in October 2013 and Ariadne auf Naxos will be revived in June 2014. This production of Die Frau ohne Schatten is new to the Royal Opera House, and is a co-production with La Scala, Milan, where it was first seen in 2012. German director Claus Guth makes his UK and Royal Opera debut with this production, which explores themes of the search for identity and the psychological power of dreams, and vividly illustrates the plight of the central character of the Empress, a woman trapped between two repressive worlds.
