Join our focus group

Transform is an international performance festival that happens in Leeds.

We’re inviting 10-12 people from Leeds City Region to be part of a focus group that will help us shape the 2025 festival.

Focus group attendees will:

• Attend 3 x two-hour meetings – one in October 2024, one in February 2025 and one in May 2025
• Be paid £12 per hour
• Be invited to our festival launch, a festival meet-up and festival evaluation session in 2025

If you need support with travel costs, we have a small budget to contribute to this.

What is the focus group for?

We are looking to meet people in the Leeds City Region** that are new to us at Transform.

We want to ensure that our festival programme of events and activities speaks to people who live and work in Leeds. We’re also keen to understand more about how our work is perceived and find out what we can do better to reach new audiences.

We’re hoping the focus group will be a fun, sociable and relaxed opportunity to learn more about art and performance whilst meeting new people.
