David spurs us to think about what we’re losing in a culture dominated by watching and listening. It’s all very well being awash in TED talks, but “we learn through doing,” and being emotionally, physically and socially involved. It’s a massive creative driver and “let’s face it, what makes us massively entertaining for our families,” Jubb says. He takes us back to the pleasures of learning in childhood and into his own techniques as a theatre producer supporting others to creatively try stuff out, and be prepared to take a risk. David Jubb is a theatre producer. He has been Artistic Director and Chief Executive of Battersea Arts Centre (BAC) since 2004, sharing the Joint Artistic Directorship with David Micklem from 2008-2012. He trained at Bretton Hall, Bristol University and Central School of Speech and Drama, where he is an Honorary Fellow, and has been awarded an honorary doctorate from University of Roehampton.
David was Chair of Kneehigh Theatre from 2008-2013, and Chair of the London Theatre Consortium from 2012-2015. He is an active member of the What Next? movement, was a panelist on the recent Inquiry into the Civic Role of Arts Organisations by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and was a member of the inaugural Advisory Council for the Creative Industries Federation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
