ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
In this session, you will learn how to conceptualise, build, and navigate your own bespoke business and production model that will speak to your priorities and to your audience while protecting the lifeforce of your project.
Using the genesis of your idea as a launch pad for the session, Russell will guide you through how he begins making a show, how he curates an effective organic marketing campaign, and how to pitch it to theatres.
The session will then move onto going into production, how it all works when on tour, and how to do all this with or without funding in place.

PAY WHAT YOU CAN or PAY IT FORWARD:
Offering affordable training is at the heart of our charitable objectives. Though classes with our practitioners usually cost upwards of £30, we offer places at a pay-what-you-can rate. For some, this might mean paying 1p. For others, paying more means you’re covering our facilitators fee and staffing costs, making it possible for us to host future PWYC workshops seasons. We give a suggested figure of £15 for those who can.
Attendees must be 18+
