“What I wish Someone Told me”

Workshop by Yve Blake

In this candid two-hour masterclass, Yve Blake (Mackenzie, FANGIRLS) is here to spill the tea on all the parts of being a theatre-maker that no one really teaches you.

What makes a great introductory email, and what makes it quietly die in someone’s inbox? How can you develop your own work if you have zero financial backing? And literally how does anyone get anything made?!

For this masterclass, Yve has asked some of our industry’s most seasoned artists to tell her what they learned the hard way, so you don’t have to. She’s also spoken to artistic directors, producers and gatekeepers about their biggest pet peeves when it comes to pitching - so you can understand what they’re really thinking.

This workshop will tackle everything from how to build healthy collaborations that don’t implode - to the best grant-writing tip Yve has ever heard. Practical, candid, and immediately useful, this is for anyone curious about the real-life mechanics of making theatre happen.
