THE CREATIVE PRODUCERS WORKSHOP

Getting your ideas out into the world is hard work.

I teach creative producing as a philosophy & the skills you need to do it well.

Workshops start about every four weeks. Apply and join a growing community of artists and producers pioneering a new way of making work.

NEW SESSION STARTING SOON

I teach in a very hands-on, personal way. In order to maintain that level of individual attention, workshop size is limited to 10 participants.

ABOUT THE CREATIVE PRODUCERS WORKSHOP

Producing is a creative practice and creative producing is about invention & problem solving and finding surprising answers in unexpected places. Producing skills are inseparable from writing, performing, directing, scenography, dramaturgy or any other component of performance making and a good producer is often the difference between a great project and a mediocre one.

This workshop is for early-career self-producing artists, aspiring independent creative producers, curators or anyone who wants to learn more about how to navigate the difficult process of project development, management and implementation independently or with institutions.
