Through a series of guest lectures and projects students gain a deeper understanding of the industry they are about to enter into as well as how to promote themselves to gain employment in the area of their choice.
They will learn about the business side of working in the stage and screen industries as a sole trader as well as the funding bodies and organisations that support the stage and screen industries and consider how they might utilise these through applying for funding and other forms of support. Students will also prepare materials that document their practice including a CV, letter of introduction, and a folio or website for the purposes of self-promotion.
Intended learning outcomes

- Describe yourself as an artist/practitioner
- Produce visual self-promotion materials to a professional standard
- Produce written self-promotion materials to a professional standard
