We are delighted to be launching People-Focused Producing – the first in a new series of training and development opportunities that China Plate will be offering in 2023, delivered in partnership with Warwick Arts Centre.
People-Focused Producing has been created as an alternative and complement to our existing training programme, The Optimists. Sessions aim to support and resource those without a creative background who are actively creating and producing work in and with their communities as well as creatives/producers at different stages in their careers.
Each session is free and will be delivered by a guest facilitator. Unlike The Optimists, there is no expectation to attend all sessions in the series; instead, you can sign up for which ones feel most useful to you.
Selected sessions will be delivered online on Zoom, and some will be in-person at venues across the Midlands.
Below are the first 3 sessions which we have coming up, with more to be released over the coming months.
