Derby Theatre gains a place in the Arts Council England National Portfolio.

 Derby Theatre has been successful in gaining a place in Arts Council England’s National Portfolio. This is both a marker of excellence for the Theatre and a provision of three years of funding from the UK’s leading cultural funder. The funding has been awarded to help achieve Arts Council England’s (ACE’s) goal of ‘Great Art for Everyone’. ACE describes the National Portfolio as:

A rich variety of organisations across the country, reflecting the real quality and excellence of the arts in England. Strenuous efforts have been made to ensure that ambition, artistic exploration and pioneering spirit are kept alive, that great work can continue, that inspirational leadership is developed and supported, and that a vibrant countrywide ecology is, as far as possible, maintained.

Along with our unique partnership with the University of Derby, this award will ensure we can continue making top-quality productions right here in Derby, attract the best of touring theatre, and offer even more inspiring opportunities for audiences to take part and remain a thriving hub for culture in the city.

You are what you wear.. or are you?

The International Centre for Guidance Studies at the University of Derby is undertaking a project regarding current undergraduates’ views on appearance in the workplace. The research is centred upon issues relating to career, inter-personal skills, self-presentation and attractiveness.  We’re interested in finding out how appearance affects career choices, and whether things like dress and behaviour influence an individual’s  success at work.


We are interviewing students from a range of degree subjects.  The interviews take approx. an hour of your time, and the information you provide will be used anonymously in the production of an article.  Hopefully, our research will help careers advisers to better support students in their job search.  

Interested? Please email Researcher, Beth Cutts @  B.Cutts@derby.ac.uk
Phone no. 07872140963

Professional Development Planning
Monday 7 July 2014, 10am - 1pm
Denby House Business Centre, Loscoe

Professional Development Planning (PDP) provides an opportunity for you to explore your current position as an artist, and to gain clarity regarding future steps you might take, with the help of a guide who will assist you in the goal planning process.
During the session, which will be delivered in a small group, you will look at your past journey, your present creative life balance, and how you can overcome barriers and confidence issues and identify the support you most need.
You will have the opportunity to both concentrate individually on your own personal path, and to discuss points of general concern with fellow artists. Opportunities available for artists within Derbyshire will also be explored. Participants will complete a pre-session questionnaire to assess their needs so that the workshop can be tailored appropriately.
The session will be delivered by Cathy Grindrod (www.cathygrindrod.co.uk), a Derbyshire writer, tutor and mentor specialising in managing and facilitating creative projects to improve wellbeing.

Venue & Parking Info
The workshop will be held at Denby House Business Centre. There is a small car park on site  For directions and parking information click here.

Refreshments
We will provide tea & coffee at the event but unfortunately we are unable to provide lunch for participants.
