5 year Women in Theatre research project

Jennifer led on the 5 year Women in Theatre research project in partnership with The Writers Guild of Great Britain, Equity, WOW, ERA 50:50, Sphinx, University Women in the Arts, Black Womxn in Theatre, Aurora Metro Books and others.

Reports included:

The Women in Theatre Survey, which can be read in The Guardian here.

The Women in Theatre Forum Report, which can be read in The Guardian here.

The update to Sphinx’s What Share of the Cake reports, which can be read in The Guardian here.

The Guardian also covered a final update to The Women in Theatre Survey here.

The five year Women in Theatre research project led to Arts Council England agreeing to set up a year long taskforce to investigate the under-representation of and discrimination against women in the arts, which is the first time Arts Council England had agreed to take action on this issue in the five years of the research project (and longer).
