Arts University Bournemouth creates external engagement role
Dr ANNA FARTHING is set to become Arts University Bournemouth’s (AUB) first Executive Director of External Engagement.
The newly established role is part of a restructure to enhance the institution’s civic role and will involve regenerating Palace Court Theatre, the university’s newly-acquired performance space.
Farthing has contributed to major cultural regeneration projects in Hull, Salford, Torquay, and Weston-Super-Mare, and has helmed successful launch programmes for Liverpool’s International Slavery Museum, Portsmouth’s National Museum of the Royal Navy, M Shed, and the Tobacco Factory Theatre in Bristol.
She is also a former visiting fellow at Bristol University and research associate for the Conservatoire for Dance and Drama.
"I’m excited by the vision of a civic university that is laid out in the AUB Strategy," Farthing said.
"The appetite for positive change across the region is palpable and I look forward to engaging with colleagues and external partners to develop a shared ambition for a thriving creative economy that fully embraces innovation, sustainability, health, pleasure and learning for everyone."
