“It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” could be a phrase of the past for the future of UK arts. Earlier this year Creative & Cultural Skills (CCSkills) submitted a proposal for Britain’s first-ever National Skills Academy (NSA) for Live Performing Arts and Music, following the launch of a new Government training initiative. Government has accepted this proposal and invited CCSkills to draw up a detailed business plan with a view of committing £7 million to the project. The arts industry is also on board, with prestigious names including the Royal Shakespeare Company, EMI Group, National Theatre, Live Nation, Arts Council England and English National Opera lending their support and hopefully donating their cash: around £3 million to make up the estimated £10 million start up costs.
