The range of productions on offer, coupled with initiatives to encourage new generations to enjoy live performance, has clearly hit the mark. The value of the investment is measured in pounds but the enrichment derived goes far beyond the numbers of seats sold.“ (SOLT, 2018) Furtherafield,theaggregateturnoverofbusinessinUKartsandcultureindustrywas£12.4bn,includingthewiderbusinessofgalleriesandlibraries,andalsovisualarts(ACE,2013).Overthelast12-24months,UKTheatrerevealsa3percentriseintheatreperformancesbutalsoareductionin(gross)incomeandticketsalesto£467.7mand18.7mrespectively(TRGArts,2018).Inpractice,thistranslatestoarounda£2mdeclineinincomeandadeclineofmorethanamilliontickets(TRGArts,2018).TherearealsoconcerningpatternsemerginginotherareasofculturewithArtsCouncilEnglandreportingafallof16.6millionvisitstoitscorefundedorganisations(NationalPortfolioOrganisations)between2015-2017(ACE,2018).Whilstthemajorityofthisdeclinehasbeenarguedtobeattributabletoclosedexhibitions,theannualreportfor2017-18(ibid)reflectsanuncertainwiderpictureintheartsandculturefield.

3.2 PreliminarySectorConsultationsInterviewswereconductedwith3stakeholders,twoworkinginhighereducation(onewithanationalremitineducation).AnotheroperatedintwocapacitiesinMidlands-basedschools(oneindependent,onestate-run).Thekeyfindingsfrompreliminaryintervieweeswere:
• AllintervieweesemphasisedthecurrentgeographyofprovisionintheUKwithregardstoperformingarts,withoneintervieweecommenting“The map of arts-based provision in the Midlands is at best stark, regardless of whether families are paying for, or relying on state provision. This does not stand us [the Midlands] in good stead…in terms of equipping future generations with the right skills”.
• Allintervieweesagreedthatthebenefitsofarts-basedtrainingand/oreducationat
ayoungagewasinherentlybeneficialintermsofcognitiveandpersonaldevelopment.Oneintervieweenoted“It has long been accepted in the independent sector that arts training in its different guises equips individuals with a broad set of skills that underpin intelligence rather than learning by rote in STEM subjects. It also builds bridges to other subject areas, as well as providing a broader competence or what we might refer to as ‘life skills’. My concern is, these same experiences or opportunities are being denied to the masses, who either cannot afford private tuition or live outside of the London conurbation.”.
• Twointervieweesreflectedontheirownfamilyexperiences,withoneinterviewee
noting“My sister relocated nearer to London and the South East to benefit from a richer provision of extra-curricular activities in the arts. Dance and music was important for them. Accepting that independent schooling was not an option, they made the conscious decision to move closer to evening and weekend schools, to provide the right sort of cultural richness they wanted in their young children’s development”.Thiscomparestoanotherintervieweewhoremarked“Whilst the provision for extra-curricular activities are certainly greater in London and the bigger cities, the price of this and the sheer competition for places is also more significant. How often do we hear friends talking about ‘waiting lists’ and making reservations a year in advance for kids to get on summer programmes?”.
• Whenasked,intervieweesagreedthattherewasaneedforadditionalprovision
nation-wide,notonlytoaddressconcernsaboutequityofprovision,butalsoasareflectionofthecurrentdemandsforextra-curricularculturalactivities.“The appetite for leisure-based cultural learning is currently very high, and while I appreciate that this is a reflection of local disposable income, I can see that any self-respecting ‘cultural city’ needs to have such provision…if it’s to be taken seriously”.
