Suddenly you have to meet your audience in a digital space, there’s that horrible lag, and you just don’t get the spontaneity of creative moments at the coffee station.To try to tackle this, we invited artist, musician, and online whiz Fred Deakin in to run a workshop on building a creative approach to online facilitation. His workshop will offer tips and tricks to becoming excellent at it - learning how to mimic the best things about meeting in real life!_______________________________________How can we create a positive disruption in digital space?The creative industries are going through a radical and unprecedented period of evolution. If there is a silver-lining in this crisis, it may be that the virus is forcing us to use the internet as it was always meant to be used — to connect with one another, share information and resources, and come up with collective solutions to urgent problems. In response to this we would like to offer an opportunity to creatives to re-frame this time and evolve new forms of artistic engagement online.Working with multidisciplinary artist and musician, Fred Deakin, we will offer an online session to look at how to facilitate new forms and emerging creative possibilities.Image credit: Jon Aitken 2019.
