Community Conversation: Artistic Practice Host by Branch Collective At Sudbury Theatre Centre Cabaret Space Thursday, July 19th 2018 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm ! FREE ! Community conversation is an open public discussion taking place in a FREE space to talk about topics surrounding personal artistic practice. The conversation will start with questions asking: How does each person create and sustain their artistic practice? What are you looking for in your creative practice? What are barriers and successes you have experienced? What do you feel you NEED to fuel your practice? This conversation is OPEN, meaning that it can drift and change to address whatever is on your mind when you think of creating, making, shaping and designing. The conversation will be "led" by #branch2018 faculty members and other local artists and leaders to take us into the murky waters of artistic practice and creative process. dm Branch Collective or email at branchintensive@gmail.com with any questions or ideas
