Online Course: Reach Your Goals - when meeting challenges

Strategies for resilience, perceverance and knowing when to let go

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or eager to find a way forward? This empowering and supportive course is designed for both seasoned professionals and newcomers ready to navigate the complexities of working in the performing arts - wherever you are situated in the world.

The global landscape is shifting. Geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and evolving cultural policies are reshaping how artists and creatives collaborate across borders. The aftermath of COVID-19 still lingers, while new challenges emerge:

🔹 Some countries are boosting cultural diplomacy, while others cut arts funding.

🔹 Visa restrictions and political barriers are redefining touring and collaboration.

🔹 Audience behaviors and market dynamics demand fresh strategies for international engagement.

This course equips you with the tools to stay resilient, focused, and adaptable. You'll gain strategic insights, develop perseverance, and—just as importantly—learn when to pivot or let go.

Join us to turn uncertainty into opportunity and take your next step with confidence.
