Watch back
Our APAM Debate tackles one of the performing arts sector’s most enduring tensions.
This debate was made for the people in the room, so bear that in mind as you watch it back, the arguments are spirited and much was delivered in jest. The subject matter, however, is anything but trivial, and we hope it adds something to your own thinking.
A sincere thank you to Jo Thomas (Artrage), who stepped into the lineup at short notice following the withdrawal of a previously confirmed speaker.
