ACT's AIMS
Why do we want a new performance venue and community facility?
Thornbury,
with its surrounding area, has a wealth of artistic talent that deserves
a fine centre for performances and exhibitions. There are many groups
in all branches of the arts, which perform to a high standard and attract
enthusiastic support. Several of the groups have received awards for their
performances. Also, existing and new community user groups, as well as
members of the community generally, deserve substantially improved facilities.
Our aim is to provide a new hall, museum and theatre to support everyone's
needs, extending well into the future.
On
the professional side Thornbury Arts Festival has produced a 10 day celebration
of the arts for many years. Each year there are several performances which
are sold out. There would be room for more professional groups and artistes
to entertain local people throughout the year.
ACT
would introduce a contemporary venue for better display of local talent.
Our vision includes a theatre, capable of supporting small and large audiences
(up to 500), a cinema, a recording studio, rehearsals, classes, workshops
and exhibitions. It will be an energetic venue for the whole community.
A café would be available throughout the day, offering people the
opportunity to relax and absorb the atmosphere, take note of all the facilities,
productions, events, displays and exhibitions that will be going on at
the centre. The venue would support the needs of amateur groups as well
as professional touring groups and this would be essential for the long
term survival of a successful community based facility.
