Hello <<First Name>>
I’m going to keep this one fairly short. We are still in the midst of the pandemic. Guidance around what we can and cannot do gathers more layers of complexity and the future’s uncertainty is both a hinderance and an opportunity. I’ve talked a bit about my ambition to make intoBodmin more accessible to a wider public and wanting to get people to engage in those questions, well I have another question for you. For the last month I've been part of a programme called Culture Reset, I was placed in a group of 12 people from cultural organisations across the country, with a facilitator, and we were helped through various workshops and stimulus to develop a question, which would help us make a change to our organisation or creative practice, in light of the pandemic. I’d like to share mine with you and hope that if you have any thoughts or fancy a chat about it, that you will email me.
If culture is the identity of a community, then how do we as a cultural organisation reflect, respond and evolve in our community, in a way that is honest, creative and inclusive?
Through intoBodmin’s Future is Loading there is also a good opportunity to anonymously share your views on our organisation and Bodmin more widely. It’s a long one at 25 minutes, but the eight responses we’ve had so far are really interesting...
Best wishes
Fin
P.S. Tomorrow is the last of our Garden Sessions and after our first sell-out with jazz musician Simon Letarche, he's returning with a new set. On a sunny Sunday afternoon, our new courtyard and vegetable garden is a great place to sit and listen to music. There are two tables left - so get there quick!
