Why SMART?
As a theatre group or organisation,we have a vision and dreams, passion and commitment. All we sometimes need is the knowhow to create a practical roadmap that will help us realise our dreams� a roadmap that optimizes strengths and helps overcome constraints. That roadmap is called a Strategic Plan. It can help make the theatre group or organisation more sustainable, effective, financially viable and capable of giving shape to big creative dreams. SMART will equip you to build your own roadmap � a practical, achievable plan that is connected to your reality, but not constrained by it.

What is special about SMART?
As artists, we tend to feel frustrated when 'experts' try to thrust 'management' wisdom down our throats. On the other hand, we can all cite interesting and effective solutions evolved by theatre groups or organizations to complex problems they faced in their own context. This programme builds on the experience and knowledge within the theatre community, while also drawing upon knowledge from outside to add strength and value to our theatre-making work.
