Are you interested in producing but not sure where to start? Or are you a self-producing artist wanting to expand your producing knowledge?
Join us for Rising Future Producers; a day-long workshop demystifying the role of the Producer: What does a Producer actually do? How does a Producer get a project off the ground? How do Artists find the right producer for your needs?
We will explore the roles, responsibilities and qualities of a Producer, look at ways of building partnerships and creative teams to get a project off the ground and examine case studies to understand the dynamic between artists and producers.
FACILITATORS
Led by Kevin Wratten from Split Second (UK) and Kath Gorman from Promenade (Ireland); two organisations with a focus on producing and touring street arts, circus and spectacle, this workshop is targeted at self-producing artists, new and emerging producers, or for other early career arts professionals (administrators, coordinators) with an interest in better understanding the Producing role.

My daughter tried a drop-in class yesterday and loved it. There's a cool hippy vibe but the instructors can untangle a kid's foot in the silks so effortlessly that you see the skill that goes into it. It's great exercise without it looking like exercise e.g the warm-ups are done as games. My daughter's review: "I want to go there every day after school"

Supportive, exciting and fun - after not training for 3 years I was daunted to return to aerial. This was the perfect place to do it. I'll be back!!
