SUMMARY:Free Webinar: Second Cities Roadmap
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR FREE VIA CROWDCAST \n\n\n\nWe’ve all been to an event\, conference\, or gig where creatives stand around saying ‘we should really work together’ – but the conversation usually ends when the gig does. So what happens when it doesn’t\, and what can we learn from the newly-announced Second Cities Producing Consortia? \n\n\n\nThe Consortia is a landmark pilot and partnership between four major arts organisations: Geelong Arts Centre\, Merrigong Theatre Company\, HOTA Home of the Arts\, and Canberra Theatre Centre. \n\n\n\nBacked by the support of CA’s Creative Futures Fund\, they’ll co-invest in seeding\, developing and staging new large-scale Australian theatre productions. Together\, they’ll create a new national pathway for ambitious works to be developed with audiences in mind from the outset\, connecting artists\, producing partners\, and major regional venues across multiple states and territories. \n\n\n\nWe’ll be talking to Simon Hinton from Merrigong Theatre and Rhys Holden from Geelong Arts Centre\, about how the consortium idea moved from ‘we should do something one day’ to a formal partnership\, what a pooled-resource model looks like in practice\, and what success looks like to them. \n\n\n\nThey stopped talking about collective practice and actually made it happen – let’s find out more about how we can do the same. \n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR FREE VIA CROWDCAST \n\n\n\nWhat’s Included?A 60 minute webinar with our creative industries expert (which you can access later if you want) plus lifetime access to additional resources. \n\n\n\nWho’s it for?Creative and arts practitioners\, freelancers\, start-ups\, small arts organisations\, and arts entrepreneurs from beginners to established (international sign-ups welcome!). \n\n\n\nWho is presenting?Monica Davidson – Monica Davidson is an award-winning expert on the creative industries\, who began her professional life as a freelance journalist\, performer\, and filmmaker. Monica has a Masters degree in Screen Arts and Business from AFTRS\, and was appointed as Australia’s first Creative Industries Business Advisor in 2013.
