Have you ever struggled to talk about what you’re working on?  
Are you unsure how to articulate thoughts about your creative practice?
Does writing and talking about your Fringe show stress you out?

Talking about yourself and your art is hard! But it’s a critical skill you will need for Information Toolbox – and for your career going forward. Join Rex Daugherty (Solas Nua – Washington, DC) for this online workshop which will cover hints and advice for how to communicate your project, and include some practical thoughts from an international programmer’s perspective. The workshop will be a combination of a presentation and practical pitching so that you can put your learning into practice.
