Groups

Each group is representative of an audience that Tramway wants to engage with further, and consists of individuals from diverse backgrounds, and with varying relationships to Tramway.

Theatre-goers, gallery visitors, education participants, Cafe Bar customers, and those completely new to Tramway are invited to participate in this innovative public engagement project.

Each group will participate in four face-to-face action research sessions, as well as engaging with resources and questions on this digital platform. In exchange Tramway are offering participants complimentary tickets to programmed events, and the opportunity to present their ideas and reflections to Tramway staff.

Each group will explore a series of questions relating to Tramway’s role and position in their lives.  These discussions will touch on questions of value, art and culture.
