Securing the Bag: Making the money work for you, and for others

This frank and fearless workshop was about individual freelancer finance, knowing what you're worth and how to get it.

Presented by certified Money Coach Natalie Scott.

Black Art, White Gaze: Why is my truth considered a ‘trauma story’?

An honest conversation around the reality of making theatre as a Black artist today. How does the prevalence of white critics and programmers impact the stories we are telling? Are we telling the stories we want to tell, or the stories that others want to hear? Can we have agency whilst creating commercial work?Black theatre makers gathered for this overdue discussion, curated by Uproot.

Host: Tobi Kyeremateng (ÓWÀMBÉ)

Panel: Ryan Calais Cameron (For black boys)
