Our Content Team recently completed the YouTube Civics Training Programme with Little Dot Studios 🎉   The course covered content creation, maximising audience engagement by utilising YouTube functionality, and a number of handy hacks and tools to better understand analytics and video performance.    At the closing event, our Senior Content Producer Sophie Wells spoke on a panel alongside other digital content managers to discuss the practical elements of running a successful YouTube channel: ‘Beyond the workshops, this course provided a unique opportunity to connect with the faces behind the screens and share experiences with other content teams in the Arts and Culture sector. If we had to describe the YouTube Civics Accelerator in three words, I would say… “Engaging. Insightful. Illuminating!”’    🌟 Visit our YouTube channel to see some of our content team’s incredible work: https://lnkd.in/g9WnZYN #YTCivics #Youtube

To celebrate their 30th birthday, the National Lottery teamed up with #SteppingThroughFilm to recreate 30 Game Changing Moments that have been made possible thanks to National Lottery funding—including the opening of the Globe, in this recreation featuring Mark Rylance and Lennie James. In 1997, after decades of campaigning by American Actor Sam Wanamaker, we opened with the help of a £12.5 million National Lottery grant. Since then, we have staged thousands of performances, welcomed millions from around the world, and reshaped UK theatre by making Shakespeare’s works more accessible and relevant to today’s audiences. #NationalLottery30  National Lottery Promotions Unit

📢 A huge thank you to all the scholars, artists, and attendees who made our 4th annual Shakespeare & Race Festival such an inspiring experience! Special thanks go to our Head of Research Hanh Bui who organised and lead the festival.   💭 Over the course of the week, we heard a range of talks by emerging and established voices in the field of early modern studies with topics ranging from translation to performance, and theatre practices to print culture.

The Jeremy Lemmon Project recently celebrated 5 years with a performance from its fifth cohort in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse! Established in 2019, the Jeremy Lemmon Project supports drama training, creative collaboration, and access to higher education across state secondary schools in the London Borough of Harrow. Jeremy Lemmon was a teacher and director, who brought the first company of young people to perform a full-length production on the Globe’s (then only partially built!) stage, in 1994.
