1 Belgrade Theatre Review of the Year 2014/2015
2 Photographs: Robert Day, George Archer, Keith Pattison, Paul Blakemore, Jane Hobson & Nicola Young A Belgrade that belongs to everyone; creates inspiring theatre and transforms lives Looking back over the past year fills me with immense pride as well as great memories of the fantastic productions we ve created to share with the world. It s never an easy task putting together a programme of shows which appeal to the tastes of so many people, but that s what the Belgrade does so well. From rarely performed classics like The Spanish Golden Age productions, to brand new musicals such as Propaganda Swing, revivals of local stories in Three Minute Heroes or more diverse shows like Blood the consistent theme has always been quality and a unique offering. The same goes for the family offering with another record breaking pantomime and a wonderfully engaging Only A Day. I struggle to pick a favourite; each one is so rewarding to watch in its own right. Our Visiting Company work complements our own plays, meaning that our Seasons are diverse and fresh, designed to broaden and appeal to the many different audiences in the City and region. It s not just our bold programme of work that defines us, but also the valuable projects the Community & Education Company do. Being able to offer productions like Bassett, numerous participation opportunities and the TiE production Becoming Me has been an achievement in light of funding cuts, but is what helps make a Belgrade that belongs to everyone, creates inspiring theatre and transforms lives. Being able to continue to offer such a vibrant programme in these challenging times is no mean feat. It has only been possible through the hard work of our talented staff and the success of our income generating activities making us less reliant on public funding. Belgrade Production Services is an important part of this story and has benefitted from further investment this year, and will continue to be an important income source for the Theatre. The Belgrade s challenges lie hand in hand with those faced by the City, but we continue successfully to contribute towards their goals for Community and Economic development and look forward to playing a pivotal role in bidding for City of Culture in The Belgrade is a much loved creative hub for the area and our TiE 50 th anniversary celebrations throughout 2015 will be another reason to be proud. With the continued support of the Theatre s many stakeholders I m confident we will continue to overcome the challenges ahead.

3 The Belgrade Theatre's vision: To be one of the most dynamic producing houses in the country. Mission: Our role is to provide a comprehensive performing arts service of the highest possible quality for Coventry and the surrounding regions and to act as an ambassador for Coventry & The West Midlands when touring. I am proud of our artistic achievements in 2014/15, delivered despite a third year when the general funding cuts significantly hit the Theatre. In terms of home produced plays, it has been our busiest year yet. Our first productions of the financial year were co-produced with Bath Theatre Royal and Arcola Theatre London: the Spanish Golden Age plays A LADY OF LITTLE SENSE, DON GIL OF THE GREEN BREECHES and PUNISHMENT WITHOUT REVENGE. The Autumn then opened with our co-production with Nottingham Playhouse of the World premiere of PROPAGANDA SWING by Peter Arnott, a true story of the survival of Jazz in Nazi Germany, which I directed, and the revival of THREE MINUTE HEROES by Bob Eaton. Company, 100 YEARS WAR with Midland Creative Projects, THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO with OperaUpClose, THE PHYSICAL FELLOWSHIP with Highly Sprung and SANTA S DIZZY DAY with Imagine Theatre. The Theatre also produced The Belgrade MELA.

These are Theatre again toured extracts of the exciting, but challenging times for us, but forthcoming season s work to unusual with a strong, creative and loyal team of venues in Coventry and Warwickshire staff continually championing the work with UNPLUGGED.

The Theatre exceeded agreed KPIs despite another difficult year of declining core funding and continuing low public confidence which affects ticket sales. Belgrade productions PROPAGANDA SWING and THREE MINUTE HEROES performed very well at Box Office, and our Panto once again exceeded previous Box Office records. Some of the Visiting Company work, particularly early in 2015, also did very good business. The Theatre produced 18 own productions during the year, the highest ever, and combined with our lively Visiting Company programme presented 421 performances of 113 different productions. The number of different productions in the seasons is a record but performance numbers were slightly down on the previous year s 434, but are still higher than all previous years. We had the biggest audiences ever for our Panto (over 42,000) but total audiences for the year at 151,000 were 8% down on last year, reflecting continuing audience risk aversion. Audience numbers are still greater than all previous years. was reduced. However sharing costs through co-productions and our continuing drive to increase earned income from all sources has enabled us again to improve Earned Income to Turnover ratio which is now 62% (up from 50% in 2009/10). The Theatre s wholly owned trading subsidiary Enterprises turnover this year nearly made it to 1million ( 904k), making a surplus during the year of 274k (compared to 211k last year) that is donated in full to the Theatre (a registered Charity). The improvement in results was largely due to Belgrade Production Services that continues to increase turnover and Events and Conferencing. Community & Education selfgenerated income was 110k and includes income from commercial workshops run on Saturdays and Summer and Easter Camps. The Theatre s Business Model continues to prove its resilience as well as its flexibility. Our ability to respond creatively and energetically to continuing threats to funding will remain critical. We are fortunate to be able to rely on dedicated staff, and thank them for their hard and loyal work that enables the Theatre to face the future with ambition and confidence. The final 10% cut from CCC hit this year, taking the total cut to 25% and Arts Council NPO funding, following in-period cuts, Joanna Reid Executive Director

We believe that these voices are best heard when given a platform through high quality productions and projects, which attract a diverse audience. The C&E programme is committed to supporting participants to gain skills which enable them to develop careers in the performing arts and other industries. 2014/15 saw the Community & Education Company deliver a record 12,875 participation opportunities through 804 workshops. Nine community performances and 22 sharings were seen by 2,425 audience members including

When I get to see it in action it s a bit more clear Pupil attending Big School two National Theatre Connections plays; the popular PRONOUN by Evan Placey performed by the Senior Youth Theatre at the Warwick Arts Centre 2014 NT Connections Festival; and BASSETT by James Graham, movingly performed by the Acting Out Company. The Year 10 Acting Out group also created their first performance ME, MYSELF AND MY iphone, around issues of body image and self-perception. A large part of the programme for was given over to developing work for the Inspiring Curiosity year in 2015, marking 50 years since the birth of the TiE (Theatre in Education) movement at the Belgrade. The innovative artist residency generated six exciting productions for the July 2015 Festival INSPIRING CURIOSITY IN OUR OWN WORDS. Partner companies and artists included Vamos Theatre, Gateway Studio Project, curious directive, Frantic Assembly, Chris White (RSC) and Chris O Connell (Theatre Absolute) working with our Asian Youth Theatre, Black Youth Theatre, Canley Youth Theatre, Middle Youth Theatre, two Senior Youth Theatre groups and our 50+ group Shine On. Work for black and minority ethnic (BAME) communities continues from strength to strength with Black and Asian Youth Theatres as well as the fourth NEW BLACK SHOWCASE, presenting rehearsed readings of two full scripts; RED MULLET a fictional account of the Jamaican Independence struggle by Liz Mytton and VISITING HOURS about four women visiting their menfolk in prison by Theresa Ikoko. In the Summer Term of 2014 we again toured our TiE production BECOMING ME, aiding the transition from Primary to Secondary school. The production toured to 39 schools in both Coventry and Sandwell. Throughout the year, the Theatre continued to run our programme of paid for workshops, introducing a weekly programme for adults, and an increased programme of youth activity for half terms and holidays. 2014/15 stats 804 workshops 12,875 participation opportunities 39 performances in schools 395 targeted workshops 8 BTEC certificates Achieved, 201 since % of participants from priority Postcode areas Photo: From the End Spring New Beginnings The programme has helped me to relearn skills that I thought I d forgotten and enabled me to feel less self conscious Shine On Participant Mask work was a totally new experience for me, and I really enjoyed it.
