Freelancer Skills Workshops are a chance for freelancers to hone their practical and business skills.
In this 90 minute workshop for freelancers, the Bush Theatre’s Head of Development Ruth Davey and Development Officer Eleanor Tindall will present an overview of how theatres are funded, followed by an in-depth look at how to approach funding applications as an individual or company. There will be time for questions in this interactive workshop.
There are limited free bursary places available for freelancers who need them. Please contact [email protected] for more information on how to apply for a bursary place.
