The age old question, What is A Producer? What do they do? Are they important? Can I develop a project without them? Blah blah blah.

If you're an emerging artist (performer, photographer, installation etc) and you're curious about what this role is / sick of doing everything yourself, then this workshop is for you!

Hosted by our Exec Producer: Roxanne Carney

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Theatre company Blown Fuse and Producer Roxanne Carney will share their experiences that have shaped their careers, how they eventually met and made incredible art that reflects real social change.

Then, we’ll explore a real-world collaboration case study with their unforgettable project, “In Her Shoes”. You'll get insights you can apply directly to your own projects finding out when and why a producer was needed for the company, what happened, what happened as a result of collaborating, the big wins and what are the absolute no no’s that they’ll never revisit again. The workshop will be followed by a short Q&A.

Now, it’s time to turn the spotlight onto you. We’ll lead exercises to help you understand self-promotion. Who you are, what are your strengths and weaknesses, what you’re eager to learn, collaborate on - you never know, there might be someone in the room who matches your skillset…

Come ready to engage, reflect, and connect!

So you have a brilliant idea and maybe some people backing your project. How do you transition from being the only one, to many people? Who will help elevate your project and safely take it to the next level?

Our 2 hour workshop will cover topics such as finding the right people and deciding on the roles in the project. We'll look at a case study together and work in small groups/pairs to get to grips with the stumbling blocks you're experiencing.

Hosted by our Executive Producer: Roxanne Carney

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Ready to build your creative dream team? This workshop designed for emerging theatre-makers, indie producers, directors and self-producing artists.

Through interactive exercises, you’ll reflect on what roles truly matter for your projects, what’s realistic at your scale, and how to pitch your work with clarity and confidence. We’ll challenge you to dream big while staying grounded, helping you leave with a clearer sense of the essential collaborators who will help bring your artistic vision to life.

The workshop will finish with a Q&A.
