Fuelling Change

Dates
From 12 Jun 2024

Fuelling Change is a podcast series, created and presented by Fuel’s Artistic Director & CEO Kate McGrath.

Season One explores the role of producers in live performance over the last twenty years and what artists need from producers now and in the future. Through interviews and conversations with artists including Khalid Abdalla, Rachel Bagshaw, ESKA, and Alan Lane, and producers including Louise Blackwell, Anthony Gray and Kate Scanlan, Kate explores the evolution of the role of producer in live performance over the last twenty years, and what artists need from producers now and in the future.

Season Two was recorded live in Oxford with leaders from across the cultural landscape – independents, founders and leaders of major institutions exploring ethics and values in cultural production today. The live events were curated and hosted by Kate as part of her Fellowship with the Cultural Programme and Hertford College at Oxford University. The Fellowship offers artists and curators the chance to reflect on their practice, develop new work, and share it with a wider audience. This research and series of events provide a unique opportunity to reflect on the past, look ahead, and explore the evolving opportunities and challenges of cultural leadership today. The series is co-produced by Fuel and the Cultural Programme at Oxford University.

Season One is produced by Fuel and edited by SLAP – Sounds Like a Podcast. The research was co-commissioned by Clore Leadership and the Arts and Humanities Research Council and was supervised by Aoife Monks and Molly McPhee from Queen Mary University. Music by Dave Price. Transcription by Alice Roots. Special thanks to all of the research participants: Khalid Abdalla, Rachel Bagshaw.
