Topics covered will include developing a strong and authentic creative identity, how to maximise your multiple skill-sets, and understanding when to delegate. An emphasis will be placed on wellbeing and maintaining artistic integrity.
Nadia Nadif – Make your own work – stage, screen and heritage (historical non theatre venues)
Thrive for 2025 (and beyond!) In tough times for our industry, explore the freedom, empowerment and joy of making your own work for stage, screen and heritage (site specific work in castles, palaces, and other historical places) settings. If you’ve always wanted to make your own work, but unsure where to start, this is the course for you. We will cover finding your creative voices, pitching, planning, budgeting, funding, your personal projects, working as a collective, building relationships and creating personalised plans for your work for the rest of the year. You will also make crucial connections with other makers on this course – the first two sessions will be in person to help foster this and the final four sessions will be online.
Run by actor and maker Nadia Nadif who is an associate with heritage company HistoryRiot, runs her own theatre and production company Untold Arts and co artistic director of Europe’s first SWANA (South West Asian and North African) improvisational troupe The Bazaar.
