PCM creative’s Caron Lyon would like to invite you to meet London based UtopiaArts’ Frances Rifkin on the morning of Thursday 19th July, who is extending her consultancy programme for arts and community organisations to explore potential opportunities in the Midlands.
​
Although London remains the main hub for the country's creative businesses the East Midlands experienced a 54 per cent increase in employment.

​Caron says this,
“After joining in conversations with fellow attendees at two EMPAF expeditions showcasing participation the question of audience and practitioner wellbeing, mental health and duty of care were discussed. I knew you should all be introduced to Fran. I’m delighted Derby Quad’s Participation Curator, John Whall agrees”

​Did you attend? - Here are Caron's mini-vlogs from the events.

I have produced this paper

​Ethics of Participation in Higher Education and collaborated on Performing ethics: Using participatory theatre to explore ethical issues in CBPR (Community Based Participatory Research)

“ The project was initiated and coordinated by Sarah Banks, Centre for Social Justice and Community Action, Durham University, working with Frances Rifkin, Utopia Arts, a long-established theatre practitioner in the Boal tradition.”​

​This is a 24-page booklet that outlines the nature of Forum Theatre with exercises and games for use in a workshop on ethics in community-based participatory research.
