Masterclass delivered by Marion Duggan and Matthew Blacklock of the Ragroof Players.
FREE! (booking required)
A superb professional development opportunity led by Ragroof. This evening session will focus on the challenges, opportunities and benefits of creating work inspired by communities. The evening is presented as part of Circulate, SeaChange’s professional development and networking event.
There will be a focus on the experience of working with communities that are not familiar to you and how to respond to their interests and represent these in your work, giving you the confidence to build meaningful relationships with hard-to reach audiences in your own practice.
Who is it for?
Artists, dancers, theatre makers and other practitioners working in community settings.
FREE, but booking essential. Book here:
