The workshop will examine:
The roles and responsibilities of what producers do in the collaborative arts space
The key skills and qualities needed as a producer for developing collaborative projects

Kath will also take you through the nuts and bolts of producing, such as how to get your project idea off the ground, budgeting, best practice in building and managing relationships with communities of interest/place as well as sourcing potential partners.
