THE SESSIONS
SPRING 2022 PROGRAMME
THE SESSIONS: BREAKING NEW GROUND
Ten sessions to help you push the needle or change direction in your practice. Attend them all, or dip in and out.
22 March - 24 May 2022
ONLINE & IN PERSON
Breaking New Ground
Our Spring 2022 programme was curated in partnership with The Dukes Theatre, Lancaster, on the theme of breaking new ground: the notion of making progress by doing something completely different in your practice, whatever that might mean for you.
It could mean making the leap into freelance, branching out into a different discipline, or trialling a new approach to getting, making and sharing work.
Full of insight and inspiration, these ten sessions provided actionable tips and advice to help you think about how you might push the needle or change direction in your practice with the option of attending them all, or dipping in and out - we want you to build your Good Creator experience around your own professional interests and needs.
