About the Event
2020 DTA graduate Sam Strachan will share what it’s like to lead a theatre session exploring mental health in a Pupil Referral Unit, or a music workshop for young people with complex disabilities. Through playful exercises and discussion, participants will gain insight into a burgeoning Applied Arts career, supported by the sharing of contacts and advice on how to approach companies and apply for funding. This includes resources of introductory emails and Sam’s successful funding applications.
Are you uncertain about how to carve out a career in the arts? Are you a pioneer who wants to change the world? Are you a specialist actor, director or technician looking to diversify your practice? Or are you simply curious to know more about Applied Theatre? This workshop is for you. Come and join us!
