Leading figures from the arts in east London discussed how they cater for, and inspire, their audiences at a public debate organised by Birkbeck, University of London. The panellists at the lively event held at the Theatre Royal Stratford East were Ruth MacKenzie CBE (former director of the Cultural Olympiad), Sarah Weir OBE (chief executive of The Legacy List), Kerry Michael (artistic director and chief executive of the Theatre Royal), Emma Underhill (director and curator of UP Projects), Jay Miller (artistic director of The Yard Theatre), Rob Swain (Professor of Theatre Practice at Birkbeck) and Dr Ben Cranfield (lecturer in Arts Management at Birkbeck).
This video captures the third event in the three-part series of events called Birkbeck Connects, which took place in autumn 2013 to celebrate the opening of University Square Stratford.
