| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONTINUED) | ARTISTS' STRATEGY IN APRIL 2022, WE OPENLY RECRUITED A FREELANCE CONSULTATION GROUP TO ENSURE THAT WE WERE LISTENING TO THE VOICES OF OUR FREELANCE COLLEAGUES AS WE REVIEW OUR POLICIES AND PRACTICES TO ENSURE GREATER EQUITY AND RELEVANCE. THIS WAS A DIRECT RESPONSE TO OUR LEARNING IN THE PANDEMIC ABOUT WAYS THAT ORGANISATIONS CAN BETTER MEET THE NEEDS OF THEIR FREELANCE WORKFORCE. THE GROUP IS INFORMING WORK AROUND REHEARSAL ROOM WELLBEING, SAFE REPORTING, TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, EQUITY IN CASTING AND RECRUITMENT OF ARTISTIC TEAMS, AND COMMUNICATIONS AROUND OUR ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE NARRATIVE. IT COMPRISES ARTISTS (DESIGNERS, WRITERS, PRODUCERS, ACTORS, DIRECTORS) FROM A WIDE RANGE OF CONTEXTS AND WITH A RANGE OF LIVED EXPERIENCE. THE GROUP IS ALSO CONNECTED TO A WIDER GROUP OF CULTURAL ORGANISATIONS WORKING TO CHANGE THEIR WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH FREELANCE ARTISTS. THE CURRENT WORK PROGRAMME WILL CONTINUE TO MID-2023. WE DID TWO WORKSHOPS WITH OMAR ELERIAN EXPLORING AS YOU LIKE IT WITH A GROUP OF VETERAN ACTORS - MANY IN THEIR EIGHTIES - TO SEE IF THE PLAY COULD BE REVEALED IN A NEW WAY. THE PRODUCTION OPENED IN JUNE 2023. WE INVESTED IN DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS FOR THE PROGRAMME OF NEW PLAYS IN THE SWAN PLANNED FOR 2023. THIS INCLUDED READINGS AND EXPLORATION OF MOVEMENT AND MUSIC FOR HAMNET, FALKLAND SOUND BY BRAD BIRCH AND FAIR MAID OF THE WEST ADAPTED BY ISOBEL MCARTHUR. WE FURTHER DEVELOPED THE SCRIPT FOR COWBOIS BY CHARLIE JOSEPHINE AND BECAUSE THIS PLAY DEALS WITH THE PREJUDICE FACED BY TRANS AND NON-BINARY PEOPLE, WE INVESTED IN TRANS AWARENESS TRAINING FOR A WIDE RANGE OF TEAMS. DIGITAL STRATEGY ACROSS THE YEAR THE VIRTUAL RSC DELIVERED THE FIRST PHASE OF ITS FIVE-POINT DELIVERY PLAN IN 2022/2023 WHICH USED THE LEARNINGS FROM DREAM AND AUDIENCE OF THE FUTURE TO DEVELOP A VIRTUAL MODEL BOX. THIS IS NOW AN ACTIVE TOOL FOR THE DRAWING DEPARTMENT AT TIMOTHY BRIDGE ROAD ("TBR"). AND WE ARE IMPLEMENTING CAMERA SYSTEMS FOR DIGITAL CAPTURE FOR ALL OUR SPACES. LIDAR SCANS WERE TAKEN OF ALL THE RSC PERFORMANCE SPACES AND HAVE BEEN RENDERED INTO THE UNREAL GAMES ENGINE TO BE TESTED AND PROTOTYPED FOR A FUTURE VIRTUAL RSC TOOL THAT CAN BE USED TO DEVELOP WORK FOR AUDIENCES AS A PERFORMANCE SPACE, IMPORTED INTO OTHER PLATFORMS SUCH AS FORTNITE OR FOR GAME ENGINES. WE STARTED A COLLABORATION WITH INK STORIES TO EXPLORE MACBETH FOR NEW AUDIENCES AND NEW PLATFORMS. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A SERIES OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ("R&D") FOR THE MACBETH EXPERIENCE (WORKING TITLE). INK STORIES, IS A BROOKLYN BASED CREATIVE STUDIO AND WE HAVE ENGAGED THEM TO IDEATE, DESIGN AND CREATE A CULTURAL GAME. WE WILL LAUNCH THE FIRST 'EPISODE' (A FULLY EXECUTED SHORT FORM WORK, 15-20 MINUTES GAMEPLAY) IN Q4 2023/24. WE SUCCESSFULLY DELIVERED A ROTHSCHILD DIGITAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME THAT RESULTED IN THREE FELLOWS SPENDING SIX MONTHS WITH THE COMPANY DEVELOPING THEIR PRACTICE AND WORK WITH US. THE IRO HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE RSC TO DEVELOP ITS DIGITAL INNOVATION PRACTICE FURTHER AND IN 2022/23 WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO START CONVERSATIONS WITH THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES RESEARCH COUNCIL ("AHRC") AROUND A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP (FUTURE OF PERFORMANCE INSTITUTE). 2022/23 HAS FOCUSED ON BUILDING THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AND WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS. |
