Embracing equity, diversity, and inclusion enriches artistic expression and broadens audience engagement, and also ensures that the arts remain relevant, accessible, and representative of our evolving societal landscape. Diverse teams mean diverse perspectives which can drive creativity and innovation. But how can arts organisations get started with EDI in a meaningful way?
In this episode, Lucy Kerbel, founder and director of Tonic Theatre, takes us through how to start thinking about EDI, underscoring the importance of taking proactive measures, fostering collaboration, and driving sustainable change.
We learn why good intentions alone are not enough; organisations must take informed, practical actions, understanding their current situations, and barriers. Lucy explains how Tonic’s approach is about effective change management strategies and tools to successfully implement and sustain change.
Viewing diversity as a strength and understanding the bottom-line benefits of a diverse workforce and audience, means we can empower our organisational Changemakers and better support all of our EDI initiatives.
