In 1983, The Boîte hosted events in a range of settings and various formats with a focus on stretching the experience of the audience to participate in various ways, from Irish dancing instruction and demonstration events to Indian Boîtes hosted in a restaurant along with a four course meal.
A significant boost in funding in 1983 had allowed for the hire of permanent part-time staff. The organisation’s capacity to bring strong production values to events were bolstered by the appointment of Coordinator Peter Leman, a musician himself with experience in event production. The first concert Peter organised for The Boîte – a Latin American concert at the Universal Theatre – was a highly popular event.
