McIntosh to Review ACE ACE chief executive Alan Davey has asked Baroness Genista McIntosh, who has worked at RSC as casting director, planning controller, senior administrator and associate producer, at the National Theatre as executive director and the Royal Opera House as chief executive, to review the funding process which caused so much furore from December to February. "This is the first time that the arts council, as a single body, has led a single, integrated investment strategy for our regularly funded organisations," Davey said." As a learning organisation it is important we now review that process in detail, establish what worked well and what improvements can be made next time. An external perspective on this is vital." However a spokesman for ACE told The Stage that the review is not the result of the controversy but the organisation's normal practice. McIntosh is expected to begin work on the review after Easter and to report in early summer. In 2005 she chaired the Arts Council peer review which expressed "some concerns about Arts Council England’s credibility within the arts community, and in particular about the ability of its officers to speak authoritatively on individual art forms" and highlighted a deterioration in relations between ACE and the DCMS.
