Embedding Wellbeing in Creative Practice

- 13:00 - 17:00
This workshop is designed for anyone working as a professional creative in any art form with others (e.g. music, theatre, visual arts, writing, dance, singing – as a teacher, workshop leader, community artist or performer) wishing to deepen the wellbeing impact of their work while ensuring they don’t burn out in the process.
As socially engaged artists and creatives, we often work at the intersection of care and creativity: we hold space for others, facilitate challenging conversations and use our artistic practices to foster community connection and wellbeing. However, if we continue unsupported, this can lead to exhaustion and burnout. To sustain our practice, we must ensure that the "care" we offer to others is also extended to ourselves.
This workshop, led by Liv McLennan, is a four-hour immersive training session, designed to help you balance the needs of your participants with your own creative health. Rather than viewing ‘self-care’ as something that happens after work, we will explore how to embed wellbeing (for participants and ourselves) directly into our artistic methods.
