Inspired by her own background as an artist, curator, producer and activist, the group will work with Jo Mangan to examine the silos in which they are often asked to place themselves. This will be the kick off point for a series of exercises and conversations that will guide the participants to a deeper understanding of their own practice and how it relates to the broader arts ecology.

The session is designed to break down the reality of the portfolio of an arts career, and look at the importance for artists to take the creativity of the rehearsal room into all aspects of their work. This in-depth session will take the participants on a path to explore how they can create meaning and forge direction in a seemingly never-ending hustle of funding applications, pitching, and networking. The focus will be on identifying opportunities masquerading as insurmountable problems.
