This workshop, lead by Artistic Director Selina Thompson and Associate Director Toni-Dee Paul ,is an opportunity to reflect on your practice, what sustains it, the audiences you make for and the structures that hold them. The aim is to build a series of reflections on your work that keeps your practice fulfilling and rich, and is a guiding compass to bring you back to your 'whys' even when you don't know where you'll end up.

How to prepare: Pen, paper and a willingness to share. This workshop can be used at the beginning, middle or end of an artistic process. This workshop will require a digital device to take part, participants are expected to be present on camera unless for specific access reasons.
