PUBLIC EDUCATION

Audience education and audience development strategies

In addition to its programming activities, the Circuit implements an important strategy for audience education and development, which is reflected in numerous projects. The goal is to grow the Apulian audience not only in terms of numbers but also in terms of awareness and quality: a pool that extends beyond economic, social, psychological, and physical barriers. Season after season, the range of collateral activities is enriched with theater workshops in the suburbs, training in schools, targeted courses in universities, ticket discounts, and special agreements.

NOTES FROM THE POINT OF VIEW

In this blog, you will find interviews, presentations, and reviews of shows presented in Bari and other nearby cities during the Circuito Puglia Culture seasons. These writings are the result of a public education project created in collaboration with the new DAMS department at the University of Bari, as part of the theater criticism course taught by Massimo Marino. It is a workshop for observation, analysis, and critical review of the theater and dance performances that can be seen today.
