Brief description of the aims of the
project | New building - National Nexus for the
Performing Arts: - To provide valuable shared facilities
to meet the needs of the national arts
bodies in terms of rehearsal, small scale
and innovative performance, and shared
support services [eg finance,
administration, marketing] .
- To further the aims of the Cultural
Commission through the
RSAMD's position as a
unique national and international
resource.
|
Clear description of what the
EGF money would be used to
buy | Contribution towards the cost of the
building and expertise to prepare detailed
feasibility studies for the building itself and
for the concept of shared administration. The collaboration would be cross-sectoral ie
between bodies in receipt of government funding
from sources such as
SHEFC and
SAC |
Partners to the project likely to commit
resources | Royal Scottish National Orchestra Glasgow City Council Scottish Enterprise |
Names of other organizations with whom the
project has been discussed (to assist the introductions process) | Early discussions with
NYOS,
NCOS and Scottish Ballet |
Evidence that suggested approach has been
deployed successfully elsewhere | This would be a unique development. |
Are there any restrictions to potential for
enlargement of the project (ie technology,
number of partners, etc) | We would expect the project to evolve so
that more partners would be involved in future.
The building would also provide cutting-edge
space for media, inter-disciplinary and
inter-company developments. |
Benefits projected from the project | - Improved efficiency for national arts
organisations through cross-sectoral [
HE/ publicly funded arts
bodies and other theatre/music groups]
collaboration and joint-working
- Savings from the shared central
services - Front of House, Marketing,
technical support, venue maintenance,
finance and general administration
- Efficient use of buildings and assets
through sharing of expensive performance
spaces and facilities
- Enhanced teaching and learning
opportunities through collaborative
projects and placements; also a better
link-up between the profession and
education
