Structure of HumDrum
Formed in 1992, HumDrum consists of people from the Portsmouth region who were seeking an innovative, experimental theatre company in the local area. Although many existing groups would have satisfied some member's requirements, none can satisfy all. Though this can never be an integral part of the company's policy, it has helped pave the way towards more reachable goals.
HumDrum has three main aims: to bring under-performed works into the area; to present familiar works in a new or unusual manner and to develop the artisic skills of its members.
The members of HumDrum voted to adopt a formal structure in September 1999. This is based around an Executive Committee of nine people, who are responsible for the artistic needs, group organisation and financial aspects of the company.
Each of the positions of the Executive Committee are filled following a vote by the company's members in April each year. Membership of HumDrum is subject to a nominal annual charge. HumDrum's committee has been through a careful restructuring process, initiated in December 2004. This was presented to the membership before the Annual General Meeting in April and the new committee created.
HumDrum will be looked after during 2007 / 2008 by the following people:
