Ask An Artist: Accessibility & Making Together, with Lizzy Maries of Ray Collective (Specialising in Performance Art!)
Thursday 6th November, 10.30am–12pm, FREE at TOSH
Join us for our new monthly Ask An Artist sessions, part of our OSC (Open School Creative) programme. This session is open to all career artists and creatives, wherever you’re at.
Ever wondered how to bring people together to create something bigger than yourself? Or what it takes to step into the unknown of public performance?
This month’s Ask an Artist session welcomes Lizzy Maries, producer of Ray Collective – a folk group rooted in community, movement, music, and craft. Alongside collective performances (most recently a Summer Solstice celebration in Boscombe), Lizzy brings 13 years experience of creative producing and cultural communication work, and more recently, advocacy for parents and carers in the arts.
Over a cuppa, Lizzy will share her journey and offer insights into:
- Starting a collective from scratch
- Planning public performance projects
- Parents and Carers in the Arts - guidance around how employers and individuals can navigate more inclusive practices, or what it's like to be one!
Free to attend, open to all creatives at any stage.
Whether you're looking for tips, reassurance, or just a space to connect with others figuring it out too - come along! No need to prepare anything in advance (although you are welcome to), just bring your curiosity and we'll bring the cuppas....
And why not arrive early and pop into Creative Cowork Club? Free coworking from 9am-12pm every Thursday!
