Audible Edge Night School: Gym

We are not literally going to the bank, but we are accessing the collective brains-trust about relating to money; having it, wanting it, talking about it. As an artist-run initiative, a not-for-profit organisation, a charity, and a constellation of individual practicing artists, Tone List and the Audible Edge festival have inhabited all kinds of awkward positions straddling government-funded to volunteer-run. We have a staunch commitment to the rights of musicians as workers, but also to the power of the no-money networks of creative exchange. This sassy double bill hopes to bring artists together to talk about money and the agency we have in choosing how we relate to it. Within an arena that often leaves us feeling disempowered, uncomfortable, unseen, and in competition with each other, can we spark a discussion that inspires connection, problem-solving, team work and solidarity?

Two sessions:

(6:30pm) Patrick McLaughlin & Allison Archer: DLGSCI grantwriting information session

(7:30pm) Bridget Chappell: Defund the arts?

This session is co-presented with STRUT Dance and The Blue Room Theatre.
