Champion

We aim to communicate the value of performing arts in Wales. We identify members’ key issues and set the agenda to progress those issues, both independently and through collaborative action with strategic allies. We represent the value of our members, and promote the value they contribute to community well-being and cultural identity.

Connected dots

Connect

We connect performance makers and presenters to create shared understanding, collective impact and mutually beneficial outcomes that support and extend the presentation and mobility of performing arts activity.

Plant growing next to a tree

Evolve

We develop schemes to support enhance the skills and experience of the existing workforce and enable those new to the sector to identify pathways into the industry. We aim to improve sector equality and diversity to ensure the development of a broad and representative range of content producers, and the production of work that is relevant to new and diverse audiences.
