A workshop that assists artists in thinking, writing and articulating their own artistic practice will also bridge the communication gap between them and prospective funders, presenters and most importantly their audience members. It will assist artists to think artistically and strategically on how their own artistic practice could travel to more places in the world. The workshop will also offer practical examples on how artists write and how funders and curators view and select artists for their own festivals and residencies. As part of Theatrex Asia’s community support initiative for artists and arts managers in Malaysia, this reasonably priced workshop is specifically crafted for community needs.

Everybody in the arts wants their art events to be featured in the media. Not only it is free publicity, it is also an effective way to promote their company and their activities. It is also a way to raise awareness to their arts companies. To achieve all these objectives in one-single media release seems impossible. This compact workshop will give you practical steps on how to do go about creating/writing a media Release that will perform all the basic functions of promoting the company and the event at hand in the short time possible. It will also give you “mental” plans on how to go about writing a good media release. As part of Theatrex Asia’s community support initiative for artists and arts managers in Malaysia, this reasonably priced workshop will be an incentive compared with similar ones offered for corporates.
