Strategic Planning

Producing 101

This 6-week course for a small group of artists will develop your skills in all the key (and most feared!) aspects of producing, including contracting, funding, budgeting, and more. We will also dig a bit deeper into how you can think more strategically, make work more accessible, develop new partnerships, deal with conflict, and much much more. This is an opportunity for you to invest time and energy to reach the next step in your career as a self-producing artist or emerging company.

There will be a cost to register for this course, but bursary places will also be available. More details will be available in due course.

Contracts, Artists & Venues

In this workshop we will go over the essential elements of a contract, as well as things to look out for in venue contracts.

  • When you need a contract

  • Review sample contracts
