ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ

Theatre producers and champions of the arts Lucy Neal and Rose Fenton emphasised the ‘critical’ role of arts venues in society as they were awarded honorary degrees from the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ this week.

Artists will attempt to explain the concept of time through the medium of dance, theatre and performance art this week, as part of a research project lead by the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ.

How we think about romantic couples and families is to be examined at a free event at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ on Saturday 29th September, Imagining 'We' in the Age of 'I' - including a free screening of the critically acclaimed ‘Her’, directed by Spike Jonze.

Doreen Foster has been announced as the next Director of Warwick Arts Centre. She is currently Deputy Director of the Black Cultural Archives and, before that, Chief Executive of the Bernie Grant Arts Centre in Tottenham.

After an established career in arts administration, Alan Rivett started at Warwick Arts Centre as Deputy Director in 1990, becoming Director in 2001. In his 17 years as Director, Warwick Arts Centre has brought internally renowned artists to the Coventry venue, collaborated with the arts sector regionally, nationally and internationally and overseen refurbishments and building developments of the region’s largest arts centre.

Warwick Arts Centre has been awarded £4.2m in National Lottery funding from Arts Council England towards its 20:20 capital project.

By October 2020 Warwick Arts Centre will be a redeveloped cultural and creative centre for the region in which to continue the organisation’s distinctive, creative, artistic and cultural programme; a key regional venue that will be at the forefront of Coventry’s year as City of Culture 2021.
