New Theatre Helsinki (NTH) Survey

New Theatre Helsinki (NTH) is a performing arts initiative between
2020-2022, which was created from the need to make the linguistic and
cultural diversity of our society more visible in the field of the
performing arts: in its contents, makers and audiences. The
initiative´s purpose is to create a new centre dedicated to the
cultural diversity of the performing arts field. NTH aims to be a
meeting point and a platform for co-operation between the arts
professionals and audiences from diverse backgrounds as well as the
existing art institutions.

Please see the survey link below. This survey asks the views of
performing arts professionals – artists, producers and technical
workers – of the new space and produces information from potential
users, which is used in planning the new centre.
The survey is anonymous and can be answered in Finnish, English or
Russian. In addition to a background section, there are 15 questions,
which takes max. 10 minutes to answer. Please submit your answers by
31st August 2020.

The survey is created by the NTH project team. The results are also used
in a thesis (Master of Culture and Arts/ Humak University of Applied
Sciences). NTH is led by two Helsinki-based theatre associations well
experienced in working in the field of performing arts and
interculturality. European Theatre Collective is an international
theatre collective, formed in 2007. Teatteri Metamorfoosi, formed in
2005, focuses on physical theatre. The NTH project will also create new
networks and forms of co-working within the capital region, Finland and
the other Nordic countries.

Thank you very much for taking part in this survey and participating in
the process of developing the performing arts field more diverse in
Finland.
