CaPT Advisory Group Announced

We are excited to announce the CaPT Advisory Group. The Advisory Group will be engaged in ongoing measures to ensure that the sector has a voice, and that services are meeting the sector’s needs.

The CaPT advisory group will meet quarterly, with a tenure of 2 years.

Their two key functions are:

  1. To maintain strong engagement and information exchange between Theatre Network Australia and the broad circus and physical theatre industry locally, nationally and internationally.
  2. To offer guidance to TNA to ensure that its mandated service delivery to the CaPT sector is operating effectively and efficiently.
