Artistic Entrepreneurship
21. June 2018
I’ve been out swinging my hat and enjoying a few festivals. Lots of cool performances and meetings with colleagues during CPH Stage with the launch of UPgrade International, which I have been working on for a couple of months. Followed directly by the Folkemøde (People’s Meeting – a big political platform festival) at Bornholm to meet with some other people and enjoying this cozy relaxed togetherness on Bornholm – we had a bunch of really nice people living at BIRCA. If you just know a little about me, you will know that both places I have been in my zone 🙂 – together with other people, in dialogue about the things that are meaningful for me.
I’m still on my beautiful BIRCA on Bornholm – but now for a whole week alone. And that’s a peculiar thing … but I really get some work done. Some periods are for fun and networks, others to work hard and move in a more constructive way. My spring time has been constructive and busy – and now it is time to get all this knowledge and material out into the world.
I just hosted a webinar with Honne Dohrmann about dance, danceinstitutions and how to renew, develop amd collaborate – se recording here.
Honne will come to BIRCA in September, where he is guest teacher at the first Artistic Entrepreneurship course. This is a course I have developed with my new business partner Sofie Haag. I have presented her before – but you can read about her here. Several people have requested a physical course based on the tools I use – and now I do it – together with people who can complement my skills – so you really get a full package. It’s combined with a 5 month mentoring course. That’s all I know works together at the same time – so I hope you get really curious :). Here is a link to full information on this new program. You can book a small session and get a free Wealth Dynamic test at the same time, where we can talk about whether it’s something for you – book here. Please notice that there is an Early Bird offer before 1/7 – and in fact there are only 6 seats left on the course.
My collaboration with Sofie made me say yes to creating a digital toolbox on how to work internationally for the Development Platform for Performing Arts in Denmark. This box named UPgrade International (in English) was launched under CPH Stage – and I’m really proud of the work we have done. The focus for me has been to create useful material – for new ones, but also the more experienced producers. That’s why learning is done through a number of exciting workbooks where Sofie and I have gathered all our knowledge and the best tips and tricks – this material is then linked with introductory videos, sections with information about most things around the international market as well as casevideo from Danish performing artists. Please look at it – you will find it here – and I’ve shared the first video in the series below. I’m very excited about what you have to say about it, if it can be used – so please give feedback.
In the future, I will use this material in my work, and this will form the basis of our Artistic Entrepreneurship course in September. If you book a small session with me, you can make the first workbook on your strategy at the same time and I will give feedback on it.
