THE SESSIONS

SPRING 2023 PROGRAMME

 

THE SESSIONS: INTERSECTIONS, INNOVATIONS & INTEGRITY

Seven sessions to help you rethink your creative boundaries. Attend them all, or dip in and out.

13 April - 24 May 2023

ONLINE

Intersections, Innovations & Integrity

Our Spring 2023 programme was once again curated in partnership with The Dukes Theatre, Lancaster, and focused on how to work at the intersection of creative arts. Led by professional artists working at the interface of challenging cross function and cross sector work, we explored how to drive innovation in creative practice whilst maintaining our creative, mental and emotional integrity as artists and ensuring care for audiences.

We also considered questions like:

What happens when we push ideas out of their comfort zone?

How can we scale our imagination so that our ideas have impact outside of our usual delivery space and audience base?

What are the benefits of working at the intersection of different industries and/or in different environments and market spaces?

How do we protect our creative and intellectual integrity when working with partners in other industries and ensure care for our audiences?

How do we maintain our confidence and wellbeing in times of transition, change and growth?
