Curious what a producer actually does or sick of doing everything yourself? This workshop demystifies the role from scratch.

Led by Executive Producer Roxanne Carney, we'll share how our own journey unfolded, then we’ll dig into a case study; a real-world project discussing when a producer was needed, what happened, the big wins and the absolute no-nos we'll never repeat. With lots of interactive tasks, comfort breaks, followed by a short Q&A.

We’ll explore exercises on self-promotion, your strengths and what you're eager to collaborate on next.

Come ready to engage, reflect and connect.

ABOUT PRODUCER LAB

Producer Lab is a five-part workshop series designed to demystify the producing process for early-career creatives, self-producing artists, indie companies and emerging producers. Each session is led by Blown Fuse Theatre’s Executive Producer, Roxanne Carney, and rooted in honest, experience-based learning. The series breaks down the producing process into accessible, hands-on workshops that build your skills, confidence and network.

Sessions are interactive and informal, with space for questions, reflection, and peer connection. Topics include team building, stakeholder partnerships, budgeting, touring, and self-promotion.

Come to one workshop or attend the whole series. These sessions are designed to support the creative work you’re already doing and help you build what comes next.

This workshop is ideal for early-career or aspiring producers, indie theatre-makers, self-producing artists, emerging theatre companies, stage managers curious about producing and anyone interested in understanding how creative collaboration happens behind the scenes.

Nope! It also suits directors, writers, performers, and anyone looking to better understand how to work with (or become) a producer.

The workshop will last for 2 hours, with scheduled comfort breaks.
