Apprenticeship Toolbox for Artists

07.08.2023 | 19:00 - 20:30 Uhr | Online

with Prof. Isaac Spencer

 

The Apprenticeship Toolbox is a collection of tools and materials intended to facilitate the transition from studies to the professional dance and performance world. It includes three tools:

  • MENTORSHIP TOOLBOX FOR ARTISTS (a collection of activities to engage in a mentoring or guidance relationship)
  • MESSY TALK (a format from Whistle/ Frances Chiaverini, Robyn Doty, for dancers to practice speaking, brainstorm without judgment, and make the mistakes that are natural for growth through conversation to occur)
  • ANTI-DISCRIMINATION HANDBOOK (a publication from the HfMDK with information and role play exercises to contribute towards a safe and equitable working environment).

The Webinar will introduce the contents of the Toolbox and then expand particularly on the activities from the MENTORSHIP TOOLBOX FOR ARTISTS, offering participants practical exercises that can be utilized to enter a mentoring relationship.

19:00-20:00 Lecture (will be recorded)
20:00-20:30 Question and answer session (without recording)

The event will be held in English. Questions can also be asked in German.
