When: Tuesday, 23 May 11:00am–1.30pm AEST (including lunch)
Where: TNA Office, G5/152 Sturt St, Southbank VIC 3006 

TNA is running a series of salons, professional skills development and networking events for Victorian-based independent performing arts producers.  

Our first one for the year is a FREE in-person workshop, led and facilitated by Kate Sulan, on facilitating and dealing with conflict.  

Producers have an important role mediating the dynamics of a group throughout creating, rehearsing, performing and touring projects. Facilitating group relationships and navigating conflict is a key skill in a producer’s toolbox. In this workshop, we’ll look at: how can we be good facilitators and mediators in our working relationships? What does it look like?  

Kate will be taking us through facilitation principles, micro skills for facilitation, and conflict scenarios. Lunch will be provided.

Kate Sulan is a performance maker, director, dramaturge and facilitator. Kate was the founding Artistic Director of Rawcus, an award-winning Theatre Company of performers with diverse minds, bodies and imaginations and led the company for 22 years (2000-2022). In 2018, Kate completed an Advanced Diploma in Group Facilitation and has been helping to hold space and facilitate complex and challenging conversations with care and creativity.  Kate’s work embraces complexity and diversity and is underpinned by the desire to fuel dreams, accumulate questions, slow down time, invite reflection, challenge what is possible and celebrate humanity. 

Spots in the workshop are limited. To register for the event, please fill out the registration here or email wen-juenn@tna.org.au and we will confirm via email if you have a place. If you can no longer make it, please let us know as soon as possible so someone else can take your spot.
