CREATE! is a free training course for up to 20 participants from across Dorset, and Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole, with less than 2 years’ experience in the arts sector.
Held in early 2027, the CREATE! scheme will consist of approximately 4 whole day in-person learning sessions covering key skills and knowledge for delivering live events and outdoor arts.
Produced in partnership by Arts by the Sea, b-side and Activate Performing Arts, participants will learn how live events are created from start to finish, and take part in workshops led by experienced professionals.
This year’s programme is being led by Arts by the Sea.
More information and how to apply can be found on their website.
