Emily O’Brien will work through the ins and outs of implementing good production practice for your projects, and what elements contribute to your production requirements.
She will explain the difference between risk and safety, how to utilise tools such as risk assessment to enable creative risk-taking in a safe manner, and how to communicate production and risk requirements and plans to key stakeholders such as venues and presenters.
Presented as part of the Platform LAB program, our Professional Development series delivers monthly, online lectures led by guest practitioners working across Australia and internationally. Curated by Bureau of Works, these seminars are designed to build artists' professional capacity in curatorial practice, arts project management, community engagement and marketing. Professional Development is open to artists of all career stages, and particularly well-suited to early and mid-career artists.
Tickets can be purchased for individual sessions, or as a discounted session bundle.
