Announcing the 2016/17 Clore Fellows Creating a new culture of leadership: announcing the 2016/17 Clore Fellows The Clore Leadership Programme awards 25 Clore Fellowships for 2016/17 to exceptional individuals from across the visual and performing arts, museums, archives, cultural policy, film and media. UK Fellows come from ten different towns and cities across England, Scotland and Wales. First ever Independent Film Exhibition Fellowship supported by Creative Skillset and first Visual Artist Fellowship supported by a-n, the Artists Information Company. Six Chevening-Clore International Fellowships awarded to outstanding cultural leaders from Egypt, India, China and, for the first time, Mexico and South Africa. Two Fellowships awarded to Fellows from Hong Kong supported by the Home Affairs Bureau of the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region through the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. Two additional Clore Fellows supported by the BBC will be announced later this summer as part of the BBC Clore Leadership Development Programme. Today the Clore Leadership Programme demonstrated its continued commitment to strengthening excellent leadership in arts and culture by announcing the exceptional individuals who have been awarded 2016/17 Fellowships. The demand for places highlighted the breadth of talent, ambition and desire to lead amongst the UK’s cultural community, with roughly ten applicants competing for each Fellowship. This year’s cohort of Fellows This year’s cohort comes from a wide range of backgrounds across the entire spectrum of the arts and cultural sector. Some are working for major national organisations such as the National Archives, The Royal College of Art, National Theatre Wales and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Others represent beacons of excellence within their artistic disciplines such as the Whitworth in Manchester (Museum of the Year 2015), the Gate Theatre in London or Islington Mill in Salford. They are collaborative, resilient and entrepreneurial, all essential qualities for leading a sustainable sector in a changing environment. They are experts at bringing different people and contexts together through their passion for culture and a belief in the difference it can make to our society. Darren Henley OBE, Chief Executive, Arts Council England, said: “We recognise that the future of arts and culture in this country is dependent upon not only excellent leadership, but an engaged younger generation to continue it, and international links to stimulate it. This first-rate cohort of Fellows will become role models to inspire, 1 ambassadors to engage, and leaders who will work to make the future of our industries a place of diversity, resilience and excellence.” Sandy Nairne, Chair of the Clore Leadership Programme, commented: “I am delighted that a new group of potential leaders are announced as Clore Fellows. The Clore Fellowship Programme is demanding and creative, and will offer each of these individuals their best route to future success as excellent leaders in the arts.” The 2016/17 Fellows begin their programme of personal and professional development in September 2016 with an intensive two-week residential retreat at Bore Place in Kent. With mentoring support from the Clore team, a senior cultural leader and a professional coach, each Fellow undergoes a period of accelerated learning adapted to their aspirations, needs and circumstances. This includes a secondment in an organisation different to their own and training and professional development opportunities to build the necessary skills and knowledge required of cultural leaders today. The Fellowships are awarded at no cost to the individual. Fellows have gone on to grow or transform their organisations, or set up vibrant new cultural enterprises up and down the country and beyond. Sue Hoyle, Director of the Clore Leadership Programme, said: “I am thrilled to welcome our 13th cohort of Fellows today. The Clore Fellowships provide an intensive and challenging programme of personal and professional development which is crafted to suit each individual, and adapted in response to the changing demands that cultural leaders face today. Each Fellow gains the confidence, skills and practical experience to lead strategically. They join a peer network of talented leaders who will sustain them throughout their career. We look forward to getting to know them and working together to strengthen our cultural life.” FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: Petia Tzanova, Communications Manager, Clore Leadership Programme Web: www.cloreleadership.org Email: [email protected] Tel: 020 7420 9434 Twitter: @CloreLeadership Notes to Editors: Founded in 2003, the Clore Leadership Programme is a pioneering initiative to develop and strengthen leadership across cultural and creative sectors in the UK.

  • Trying It On
    WARWICK ARTS CENTRE & CHINA PLATE PRESENT TRYING IT ON WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY DAVID EDGAR DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER HAYDON Credit: Lara Cappelli "The politics of revolution – from Vietnam and feminism to Brexit and veganism – are explored with a vigour that bursts the liberal bubble that often surrounds such subjects on stage." Mark Lawson «««« Time Out, «««« The Times, «««« The Independent, «««« The Herald, «««« The Stage,«««« British Theatre Guide, «««« Fest Mag, «««« Whatsonstage,«««« Threeweeks, «««« The Skinny, «««« Reviews Hub Supported using puBlic funds from The National Lottery through Arts Council England. Supported by the Sir Barry Jackson Trust ABOUT THE SHOW 2021 will mark the 50th anniversary of David Edgar’s career in theatre. Following its launch at Warwick Arts Centre, The RSC and The Royal Court, a trip up to The Traverse for the Edinburgh Fringe and a regional tour through 2018 / 19, China Plate and David Edgar will be joining forces once again to remount his highly acclaimed show, Trying It On in spring 2021. In Trying It On, David imagines what younger self might think of his generation’s actions since 1968, the annus mirabilis of the revolutionary left and the year he turned 20. Exploring the socialist movement, youth, ageing, revolution and reaction, it has been developed through interviews conducted by the playwright with activists past and present. Performed by David himself (for the first time in his career!), it is a solo show with a twist, framed through personal experience and drawing on autobiographical material. Trailer: https://vimeo.com/294765528 “The playwright’s imagined confrontation with the political activist he was 50 years ago is a triumph of confessional courage – and relentless optimism.
