EQUIP

Transformations Level 3: EQUIP – build a career with the right toolkit.

Take the next step as an emerging artist or arts professional with a bespoke programme of career development workshops, placements and mentoring.

Transformations  actively seeks those who experience barriers to access or development within the arts and creative industries. Imagineer believes that arts and culture are for everyone – both onstage and offstage; we celebrate diversity and equality in our programming, participants, delivery and recruitment.

Through creative workshops and practical sessions, individual and group activities, mentoring, skill development and work with inspirational artists, the programme focuses on the individual, their personal development and their pathway to progression.

They set their own goals and Imagineer works with them to equip them with the skills, experience and confidence in their ability to make a difference in their own lives and the life of their communities. We facilitate, mentor and support them throughout the process so that each participant has as unique and personal Transformations experience.

Across the programme, the participants may experience work in music, visual arts, outdoor performance, production management, technical support and event production and many other opportunities. A large part of the programme involves authentic, real-life work experience in high-profile public-realm, festival and cultural events.
