| NASA Members | |
| You can see details of most of our members here on the website, although not everyone provides us with photos and links. NASA now has well over 100 members. These range from young to experienced companies, from regularly Arts Council funded companies to those who have never received any public funding, from small one-hander companies to large companies with a full time administration, from companies where the artists also run (or have to run) the administration to those with an administration team that support artists. There are also individual members who do work for a number of companies. Thus there is a range of experiences among our members. Wherever you sit in these descriptions, you will not be alone! The network is supportive and people do offer help to support the development of companies. | |
| About the NASA e-group / on-line discussion forum | |
| The e-group is lively and sustains itself with relevant and appropriate debate. It is fully inclusive and membership is growing steadily. Sometimes the e-group can seem that it is dominated by a few, though really these are just the vocal ones! It does shift as we are all naturally more vocal about some issues than others. Often someone who has been silent for months will pop up with comments or questions. It is entirely appropriate to ask questions such as 'where can I park my lorry in Warwick?' or 'can anyone help me with risk assessments?' etc as well as launching in with a discussion on the nature of our art and the relationship with audiences, for example! | |
