This is a 2-part series on November 3 and November 5 from 6-8 pm each day. Artists are asked to attend both sessions.
Do you have an idea for a performance you would like to bring to life? In this workshop, performer Daniel Callahan and producer Mrs. Nerissa Williams Scott will discuss the financial, logistical, and administrative aspects of producing a show with a focus on the creative collaboration between artist and producer.
Participants will leave with strategies for independently producing a live performance. Topics will include goal setting, audience engagement, fundraising, budgeting, marketing, communicating with venues, and hiring a production team. This workshop will take the form of presentation + Q&A.
