Creative Flexibility: Unlocking Work-Life balance through autonomy and collaboration 

Wednesday 9th Oct 2024, 11am – 12 noon 

>> Sign-up <<

A free webinar for Arts leaders interested in changing the way they think about working, and the link between flexibility, autonomy and creativity and the practicalities required to make it work.  

We’ll be reflecting on our own journey from scrappy start up to the tried and tested model we use now, and sharing a brand-new resource. 

The webinar will be hosted by PiPA (Parents and Carers in Performing Arts) 

Speakers:

• Caro Boss is the Communications Manager for Diverse City. She began her career in commercial theatre, but quickly gave her heart to arts with a cause, and has worked in the arts/charity/social justice space for the last 15 years. She is a mum of two young children, and has a spouse who needs regular mental health support. She works part-time and has pioneered 'Turbo-Toil' with the support of her company as a means of managing the school holidays. 
   
• Constance Oak is a freelance Company Stage Manager, facilitator and PiPA Trustee. Constance is a mum of two children aged 2 & 6, and over the past 2 years has worked on the following shows: The Hot Wing King, Odysseys & Trouble in Mind at the National Theatre, and also West End hit For Black Boys as either job share or flexible hours. Constance also runs a short 12 week course for young techs for the past 3 years at Stratford East.
   
• Vicki Adlard has worked at the Everyman & Playhouse for over 20 years (not always in the same role!) and oversees the HR and operational functions of the theatres. She is a carer for a family member and tries to be a strong advocate for others with caring responsibilities in the workplace.  
   
• Sarah Dauncey, Head of partnerships and insight, Timewise works at the intersection of research, practice and policy on flexible working with Timewise. She collaborates with individuals and organisations to trial and test new ways of working to give people more input and control over when, when or how much they work. She’s interested in building the evidence base on the value of autonomy for both workers and employers in order to make the case for change.  Sarah will outline the possibilities of flexibility for the sector, taking learnings from other 'hard to flex' roles in NHS and construction and the drivers for change.

This will be a Zoom Webinar with captions.
