After sell out sessions in March and April, Carmen Collective’s ‘Theatre: Making It and Doing It’ workshop is back, bigger and better than ever!

Are you a theatre artist of any discipline who wants to:

• turn your creative idea into a viable production?
• obtain funding from Arts Council England?
• build a sustainable career  in the theatre industry?

Then this is the workshop for you!

This afternoon-long workshop is a crash-course on contemporary theatre-making, what it is and how to do it. Theatre-maker Sam Rees will equip you with the skills and knowledge to get your production on, make a success of it, and, most importantly, pay yourself and others for your work.

Sam will 

• demystify the process behind getting funding and putting on a show;
• provide you with a wealth of knowledge and give you the confidence to make the theatre you want to make;
• inspire you to take the next crucial step in your professional journey;
• Provide you with a digital info-pack full of resources to support you in the long-term.

Participant feedback so far:

‘A perfect crash course in getting started and surviving in the industry’

‘I would recommend this talk to anyone’
