Workshop
Producers' Clinic with Jason Cross

Jason Cross brings four decades of experience in the performing arts to this Producers’ Clinic, creating space for open and responsive kōrero to support participants to develop their practice and problem-solve together.

Producers will be invited to bring a question, a skill they would like to develop, or a problem they would like to solve. Through shared conversation and practical examples, these will be addressed.

As part of this, Jason will explore approaches to building and maintaining artist relationships, shaping new work, navigating funding, developing partnerships, touring, and working across cultures with care and clarity.

This workshop offers producers dedicated time and space to explore their own pathways while learning from Jason’s extensive industry experience.

This workshop is limited to 8 people.

Jason Cross lives in Naarm amongst the trees and on the country of the Wiradjuri & Woiwurrung people, who are part of the larger Kulin Nation. His mother is Anglo and his father is Scottish, and they moved to Australia in 1969 when he was born.
