Bristol Old Vic is responding to what it calls an arts education emergency by bringing theatre directly into school classrooms. Working with City Academy in Bristol, the company is staging plays and expanding access for young people who might otherwise miss out on live performance. The initiative highlights growing concern over declining arts provision in UK schools and has drawn attention as a model for how theatres can reach students.
Why now: Concern over the decline of arts education in UK schools has made the theatre's classroom initiative a talking point.
