Creative Producer Training
LVL/UP was a 2 day in person intensive training programme held at the newly opened IOU Hostel in Hebden Bridge. The course focused on the important aspects of producing and project management in the arts. The aim was to develop the skills, strategies and tools of participants to become a brilliant producer.
Calderdalecreates wants to support more people in our borough to develop and sustain a career as a producer. The training was led by Francesca Moody, producer of Fleabag by Phoebe Waller-°©‐Bridge and Aysha Powerll, Head of Finance and Operationa at Trigger. Between them they have over two decades of experience in creating amazing, award-°©‐winning work.
An element of the programme was for participants to make valuable connections with other producers from Calderdale, West Yorkshire and across the UK.
