There has recently been some concern raised around wording in our current advertisement for a new Artistic Director/Joint CEO. Our response is as follows:
As the name suggests, Camden People’s Theatre takes access and inclusion really seriously. We constantly consult on and modify what we do and how we communicate to make sure we're welcoming and accessible to as many people as possible - especially those who are excluded from the arts, more so now than ever. That's the spirit in which this terminology was used - and we are not the only organisation to use it. We regret that it has caused offence in some quarters and we are currently reviewing its use, to make sure we continue to be as inclusive and as respectful as possible.
We also warmly welcome the interest in arts and social inclusion that the reporting around this issue implies – and we hope to see it sustained. The conversation around access to and representation in the arts, and indeed in the media, is a vital one, and we're committed to continue learning from and contributing to it.
