Join Millie Mckee for an online DJ workshop exploring artistic authenticity

The session is open to all women, non-binary, trans and gender non-conforming folks who want to attend. It is hosted on Zoom.<h3>-----------------------------------------------------</h3><h3>CREATING WITH AUTHENTICITY</h3>Record collector and DJ Millie McKee will be hosting a workshop and discussion about finding your style musically, owning it, and allowing yourself to evolve in the process.She’ll be touching on ideas around self-validation vs external validation, how by being yourself and harnessing your true essence you will naturally create something unique, the value of ‘feeling’ instead of ‘thinking’ your way through creative decisions, and how authenticity and truth can be applied to any taste and style.During the workshop she’ll be hosting a guided meditation, journaling prompts, and other exercises to support attendees to explore and distill what they want to express creatively.In this session Millie will touch on: <ul><li>Creative growth: navigating the natural desire to evolve how to not get in your own way.</li></ul><ul><li>Not getting stuck in a genre box: developing the confidence to challenge and surprise</li></ul><ul><li>The practice of playing the music you love and connecting with an audience</li></ul><ul><li>Taking inspiration from others whilst retaining your own sense of uniqueness.</li></ul><ul><li>How mental health &amp; nervous system regulation supports you in creating authentically</li></ul><ul><li>Personas: choosing a name, embracing multiple personalities / 'modes' within your music</li></ul><ul><li>The importance of the gigs that don't go so well and how to learn from them</li></ul><ul><li>Being present with yourself to tap into what is unique about what you do</li></ul>Please note: This workshop will be recorded. A link to the video will be shared with all ticket-holders after the event.<h3>-----------------------------------------------------</h3>A key aspect of our work is striving to reach those who may not already have access financially to partake in music tech, so it is important for us to ensure a portion of all our activities are completely free or pay-what-you-can.

While Saffron is absolutely not ‘anti-men’, we see that a shorter-term solution is to provide fellowship and learning environments that are not dominated by the cisgender male perspective. Therefore, our online workshops are intended for women, non-binary, trans and gender non-conforming folk to attend. While we do not ban cisgender men from attending, we hope that they will respect that this event is not intended for them.
