The WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Programme #WYNTK is a series of workshops designed to make your life as a freelancer less stressful so you can get on with the serious business of being a badass dance artist. Led by BDN with some help from industry professionals and experienced dance freelancers, #WYNTK gives you an essential tool kit to excel as both and artist and, dare we say it, a business. We said it!

WYNTK: Activism in Dance – Making a Difference

Want to change the world? Resist the status quo? Campaign for a better industry? Join us for a session that introduces dance artists to ways in which we can work collectively, and co-operatively and express individual acts of resistance. When the world needs righting, how can we use our creative power to advocate for ourselves, our industry, or for the society we want to live in?

This is a practical session where you will be working on your own and in teams with the opportunity to develop ideas around activism. Whether you’ve already got a campaign in mind, or are just curious about what it all means, there will be something for you in this session.

There is a £20 honorarium for each participant, per workshop. We recognise that taking time to do training is potentially lost work time. We’re offering each participant a £20 honorarium to go some way in compensation for this loss.

We have an access budget. If you require additional financial support to reach the session then please get in touch. This could be to cover (but is not limited to) childcare, travel, a personal assistant or a BSL interpreter.
