ARTSEQ WORKSHOP SERIES
EMOTION is the Art.
Practical skills for navigating the emotional demands of artistic life.
We spend extraordinary amounts of time teaching artists how to make the work. Emotion is the Art. develops their capacity to navigate what making the
work asks of them.
THE WORK BEHIND THE WORK
Artists continually navigate evaluation, comparison, feedback, auditions, casting, rejection, uncertainty, collaboration—and the experience of having something deeply personal assessed by other people.
Emotion is the Art. uses highly experiential learning to develop practical skills for navigating those human demands without separating the artist from the person.
Becoming an artist asks more of us than developing our craft.
Artists leave better able to respond to the challenges of artistic life in ways aligned with the artist, colleague, and human being they want to become.
DESIGNED FOR WHERE ARTISTS ARE
