Engagement with the arts in the UK has a broad impact which can be measured in three ways: Impact on the UK economy, impact on individuals, and impact on communities. The UK arts sector contributed £49 billion gross value added in 2022. That's equal to the food and beverage sector and more than the telecommunications sector. People in the United Kingdom engage with the arts on a massive scale. A 2023 survey by DCMS found that some 91 percent of UK adults had done so at least once, in one way or another, during the previous 12 months. Seventy-four percent had attended an arts event such as an exhibition or a theatre performance, for example.1 (The sidebar “Mass engagement” gives a more detailed breakdown.) You can read a summary and download the full report here.

Central to their work is a commitment to involving and impacting local communities, placing people's lived experiences at the heart of the creative process. John's hot potato - Less is more. A true advocate for the underrepresented sector of adult dance, John Darvell and NOCTURN are embarking on a new journey in Scotland, focusing on celebrating the unique talents that later-life dancers bring to storytelling. Their projects delve into the realms of mental health, LGBTQ+ experiences, and immersive dance, all while seamlessly incorporating contemporary and interactive elements. In John's artistic provocations, the exploration of mental well-being and promotion of LGBTQ+ heritage take centre stage. The company's innovative use of everyday technology invites audiences to engage with dance and movement in a way that is both accessible and thought-provoking. John's arts and culture Hot Top 10 John Darvell's personal journey reflects resilience and determination. A gay man from a working-class background in the North East, John faced the harshness of school bullying during childhood. Despite overcoming educational challenges, he took a courageous leap in his late 30s, leaving behind office job security to pursue a full career change in contemporary dance at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. Incorporating aesthetics from his background as a visual designer, John has developed a distinctive approach to choreography and immersive experiences. Over 15 years of community and school outreach work, he has inspired and empowered individuals of all ages.

Bill is a seasoned professional with a passion for both the arts and business. He's a full member of the Arts and Culture Network. In our interview below, we explore his arts and culture hot top ten. Expect some surprises and anecdotes. Something few people know about Bill. He was hit by lightning at the age of 15. HIs doctor attributed his survival and recovery to his track running. 90% of similar lightning strikes are fatal. Bill's journey into the world of theatre began in 6th grade when he took the stage in a production of "A Christmas Carol." As fate would have it, his high school years saw him joining a production of "South Pacific," a decision that ignited his lifelong love for the stage. Bill's commitment to theatre persisted through college, where he transitioned from aspiring veterinarian to dedicated actor, participating in various productions and nurturing his craft. Despite a brief detour into the business world, where he became a bank officer managing an $80 million loan department, Bill's heart remained in the theatre. His theatrical pursuits led him to Los Angeles, where, despite narrowly missing a "big break," Bill immersed himself in community theatre, voice-over work, print and TV ads, and even touring with a Children's Theatre. Notable roles in productions like "No Sex Please We're British" and "Early One Evening at the Rainbow Bar and Grille" marked his breakout moments in Michigan. Bill's journey took a romantic turn when he spent three fruitful seasons at "Horse Cave Theatre" in Kentucky, where he met his wife, Heidi Baker. Together, they moved to Indianapolis, where Bill balanced a job doing taxes at Ernst & Young, LLP, and his love for theatre. Following a brief venture with the Beckman Theatre, Bill, with the support of Lauren Drabble and Ina Marlowe, realised his dream in Bailey, Colorado. As the President & Managing Director of Bailey Theatre Company, a newly qualified 501(c)(3) charitable organisation, Bill, along with his Artistic Director Ina Marlowe, brings a wealth of experience and a lifetime of passion for theatre to the mountain town. In addition to his extensive business background, including over two decades in taxes and a decade in banking and finance, Bill is also the owner of Cruise Planners – Heart and Soul Excursions, a full-service travel agency specialising in romantic honeymoons, LGBT travel, hiking, and adventure tours.
