When and where was it?

9th and 10th September 2021. Holbeck, South Leeds.

Who was it for?

People who care how culture works in this country and will commit time and effort to take action to make it better. The Conference of Holbeck Moor is for those who are prepared to take responsibility for making positive change happen. 

What was it?

An outdoor arts conference. Around a big campfire. With a number of big tents. A creche with the brilliant Bea & Co. Headphones allowed you to listen to any event from anywhere. Accessible to each delegate on an individual basis. A cabaret in the evening. Travel and Accommodation bursaries for those delegates that needed it. Tickets were Pay What You Decide. Focused on stories of practical change and progress.

Pay What You Decide

Decide. It is an act of politics. The least interesting, most prevalent identity in society is customer. Those of us who receive public funding, whether regularly or through project funding, understand that the market cannot support everything that is important and that a flat relationship to value and worth limits what we collectively are capable of.

So for the last 10 years, Slung Low has made everything that we can Pay What You Decide. It’s transformed the make-up of our audience, our relationship with our funders and, in conjunction with our company wage policy, the conversations and debates we have with our community. We haven’t seen a decline in income but we have seen a change in patterns of income with some paying more than others and some paying little or nothing.

Anything else?
