about this workshop
For producers, working at the interfaces with all those involved in an artistic production means maintaining open communication in all directions and, at the same time, bundling information and making it accessible to everyone. Friction can arise in this complex communication work, which can lead to potential conflicts.
In this two-part workshop for producers, Dana Caspersen will provide insights into methods for constructively framing, handling and, ideally, jointly resolving conflicts.
Please note: This workshop will take place over two days of three hours each. By registering for the event, you confirm that you will take part in both slots (Friday, 06.12.2024, 2 - 5 pm and Saturday, 07.12.2024, 2 - 5 pm).
