An exciting new project has been launched to involve the community in shaping how Kirkcaldy\u2019s Adam Smith Theatre is used in future years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Called\u00a0Relevant: Adam Smith<\/b>, the initiative will run over the next seven months and will be a mixture of online interaction and face-to-face sessions with regular users of the theatre, people from the wider community and business representatives.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0all aimed at making sure the services provided by OnFife at the Adam Smith reflect the needs of the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to create a vibrant and creative space at the heart of the community and one that is welcoming and inclusive,\u201d said Michelle Sweeney, OnFife\u2019s Director of Creative Development.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo help achieve this, we want people\u2019s voices to be heard and\u00a0Relevant: Adam Smith<\/b>\u00a0is a creative consultation project that will work with staff, key stakeholder groups and the wider public to explore the building\u2019s spaces and services.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is focused squarely on engaging with people and giving them a platform to have their say about how this much-loved theatre is developed in a way that is relevant to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis in turn will shape our long-term planning and help us make sure the Adam Smith \u2013 not just the theatre auditorium but all the spaces in the building \u2013 is providing what our community needs and wants.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project has its own dedicated website at\u00a0www.relevantonfife.co.uk<\/a><\/b>, which will carry weekly blogs from guest contributors and regular polls and surveys on a variety of topics relevant to the theatre. People can also connect via Twitter on @relevantonfife. In the new year, there will be a series of workshop-type meetings to work more closely with people and gather more opinions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would love anyone interested in the future of the Adam Smith Theatre to get involved but we also want to hear from people who haven\u2019t used it in the past because it should also be a place that is relevant to them,\u201d said Michelle.<\/p>\n

Relevant: Adam Smith<\/b>\u00a0is the first of three community engagement projects OnFife will be undertaking in the kingdom after being awarded more than \u00a3240,000 from the Creative Scotland Recovery Fund for Cultural Organisations. The award will fund two key areas of post-pandemic work over the next 24 months \u2013 how the cultural charity re-engages with audiences with services relevant to the needs of communities and exploring ways it can diversify its income generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we emerge from the pandemic, this funding from Creative Scotland provides a golden opportunity to help plan services for the future that are relevant and which will strengthen our financial sustainability,\u201d said Michelle.<\/p>\n
