Facilitation:

I can lead discussions that help groups to think more creatively and holistically. Take a transformative approach to developing visions, missions, strategies, or understanding complex conditions. Get your imagination working and flowing with these workshops, geared towards generating ideas and insights. Perhaps playful, perhaps reflective, these workshops can help you to free up your collective imagination and map your ideas against material circumstances.

One to one mentoring:

Ideal for people who need to rediscover their sense of creative identity, develop confidence in their creative potential, and reclaim their relationship with their imagination.

Equally ideal for experienced creatives who need to reflect on their process and debrief during complex creative projects.

Round table conversations:

Literally. Me, you, your small team (maybe 2 other people minimum, 10 people maximum) sitting around a table in your staff room, board room, studio, or a nearby café, pub, or park, or on Zoom. I will lead you in conversation about themes linked to creativity: I will bring some prompts or provocations and open up a conversational space for your team to talk about their experiences of co-creation. Perfect for knowledge sharing, bouncing ideas around, and team bonding.

Creative project mentoring:

I provide critical friendship to people who are working on a creative project. I will check in with you during certain phases of the project to help you unpack and make sense of your creative process and your progress through your project.

I offer appointments at the beginning, middle, and end of your project, with other appointments available upon request:

Possible subjects may include:

• Clarity around concept

• Project scoping

• Communication and team dynamics

• Review of available resources and how these might inform your creative process and experience

• Time and energy management

• Planning for risk and experimentation

• Planning to learn from failure or discomfort

• What success of failure looks like to you

• Evaluation of project progress or outcomes

• Debrief at the end of the project.

Group mentoring:

Co-creation can be magical, but working in teams can also be challenging. I offer group mentoring or facilitate discussions or workshops around co-creation skills including:

• Communication skills

• Harnessing collective imagination

• Scoping and planning creative projects

• Designing events

• Identifying shared team- or project-based values

• Working within an interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary team.

Workshops

Creative process skills:

• Experience design for workshops and facilitated discussions

• Project scoping and planning for creative projects

• Communication skills and applying them to creative work

• Time and energy management

• Planning for risk and experimentation within creative projects

• Planning to learn from failure or discomfort.

Keynote speaking:

Did you know that I started off my creative career as a performing artist? A legacy of this early vocation is that I am still a skilled and engaging storyteller and speaker, both online and onstage. Book me for compelling and relatable presentations about creativity, resilience, innovation, and sense-making in the ‘new normal’.

Consultation - experience design:

Drawing on my experience as a theatre-maker, arts manager, events manager, and facilitator, I can guide and coach you through designing compelling events – big and small, online and offline.
