Synopsis

There is no one way to produce a show but there are fundamentals that every artist needs to know whether you are self producing or working with a producer.  This workshop is aimed at new/emerging producers or self-producing artists who need a roadmap of what it takes to  produce a show. This workshop will cover methods on how to prepare, organisational tips and tricks and professional advice. We’ll break down the building blocks of producing, budgeting and marketing. Please note: This event is at 12:00pm AEST (Sydney/Melbourne time) and 2pm NZ time. You will be sent a Zoom link to tune in.
