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 Dublin Fringe show stress you out?
Irish Theatre Institute (ITI) is running two workshops with Rex Daugherty, specifically for artists programmed for Dublin Fringe Festival 2024 and attending Information Toolbox 2024.
Talking about yourself and your art is hard. But it’s a critical skill you will need, for Information Toolbox and for your future career. Join Rex Daugherty (Solas Nua – Washington, DC) for this online workshop which will cover hints and advice for communicating your project, and include some practical thoughts from an international programmer’s perspective. The workshop will combine a presentation from Rex and practical pitching so that you can put your learning into practice.
Through the workshop, you will learn from an expert about how to talk about your work to national and international presenters before the Information Toolbox event.
The workshops are available free of charge. Dublin Fringe artists are strongly encouraged to attend one of these.
