THE KNOT
A business bootcamp for theatre-makers – exploring the tools for making work and building careers at a time when the ‘business’ has never felt tougher.
Presented by New Diorama, Guildhall School of Music & Drama and Uproot Productions, The Knot is a week-long collective learning & development programme hosted full-time in-person in London from 11-15 December 2023. The programme aims to upskill, empower and embolden early-career artists facing the big challenges for making theatre right now, particularly for those who entered the industry during the Covid-19 pandemic.
We’re inviting 25 participants to come together with leading organisations, facilitators and panellists – to share, learn, incorporate, and interrogate the business skills needed to create their own work on their own terms.
Over the week, The Knot will explore key themes and practical tools for our current moment. From fundraising and finance to leadership, management, communications and partnership-working – all aiming to help you to bring your projects to life, build longer-term capacity and imagine better ways of working.
There will also be food, drink, theatre trips, evenings out with new friends - and a party hosted at Theatre Deli, with pan-Asian cabaret collective The Bitten Peach curating the best networking drinks anyone has ever networked at.
