our work: advisory, mentoring, consultancy
We believe strongly that freelancers have the best, most-up-to-date, useful working knowledge of what it means to be an independent artist or arts worker. Open access knowledge sharing is one part of this, which we do through sharing our own working resources, but we know that bespoke sessions with focused answers is vital too. We work with many individuals to share our knowledge and experience, offering different levels of support.
one-to-one advisoriesWe offer advisories or advice sessions for artists and arts workers at any career stage working in performance, live art, experimental theatre and dance.
You might want to talk to us about: ~ how to progress a project, idea, practice ~ strategic, business and financial planning ~ fundraising strategy and application writing ~ soundboard for your unformed project or career thoughts We offer these sessions at different prices depending on whether you are working during a funded or unfunded period. This is the same for individuals or small organisations/companies. “The session was gold dust!” “Our conversation was just so useful and invigorating” consultancyThese bespoke sessions will guide you through a particular issue, period or focus. These are particularly useful if you are trying to think about long-term career development, strategic planning, infrastructure formation, organisational development or financial planning.
We offer these sessions at different prices depending on whether you are working during a funded or unfunded period, but this might be something to include in a funding application, such as a DYCP or Project Grant you are working on. “You were both amazingly helpful. Thank you so much." "You are relaxed and friendly and experienced and genuinely interested in people. All of which adds value to the wisdom and problem solving you offer.” |
mentoringBeing freelance in the arts can be a lonely affair and sometimes you just want someone to check in with. We've mentored artists, producers and art workers at various stages of their career and like to build a relationship that has space for skill sharing, advice, venting, practical tools and pastoral support.
If you'd be interested in receiving mentoring from us, whether a handful of sessions or something longer-term, get in touch and we can talk about what you'd like to achieve and build a programme together. We offer these sessions at different prices depending on whether you are working during a funded or unfunded period, but this might be something to include in a funding application, such as a DYCP or Project Grant you are working on. “Thank you both for the utterly refreshing real-talk session this afternoon. It was incredibly helpful and really focussed our thinking on what we need to prioritise” |
