Today, we spent the morning with Caroline Newall, the Artistic Development Producer of the National Theatre of Scotland. She gave us the opportunity to learn a little bit about how the organization is funded as well as how it was conceived in the first place. She also gave us some insight into their "Theatre Without Walls" mission as well as let us have a stab at sticking to a matrix by which to fulfill the mission of the organization and doing a little bit of programming ourselves.
Caroline Newall explored the questions we ask about commissioning and programming a new season of work in a hands-on workshop that made it worth the early time slot. She was frank, and very invested in all of us learning something from her presentation. She entertained every idea our students submitted while interrogating them seriously and helping us to better understand her work.
Later that day, we engaged in mentor check-ins as a litmus test for how everyone was feeling in our living situation and with how much they'd learned at the festival thus far. This gave the students the opportunity to cater the experience to their personal needs.
