Women & Theatre is seeking to recruit a freelance facilitator to facilitate two meetings per year of our Critical Friends Panel. The facilitator will be an independent freelancer, not associated with the company, who has experience facilitating steering groups/feedback panels for arts and/or third sector organisations.
Women & Theatre are committed to an ongoing quality review process and as a National Portfolio Organisation, we are signed up to the Investment Principles of Arts Council England and have adapted these to our own set of commitments. The creation of a Critical Friends Panel is one of the actions we will take.
The Panel will help us reflect on our work, improve our standards, and understand the needs, wants, and views of our audiences, participants, and artists. The panel will have a mixture of participants from past and current projects, artists who have worked with us, and audience members, as well as potentially peers from other arts organisations who have a similar creative practice and share our values. We hope some members will have no previous experience of us.
The members (who will be volunteers) will be invited to attend project activity to review performance across our whole programme. Twice a year, we would like the panel to meet to reflect and give feedback on their experiences with us. In addition to facilitating these meetings, we want the facilitator to be involved in deciding how this feedback will happen. What is already agreed is that the views gathered will be collated, documented, and shared with the Board and Senior Management Team to reflect and act upon.
