Did you make it through the festival season unscathed? Many artists find themselves self-producing in the summer and having to embark on sensitive relationships with directors and others. This unique workshop will offer techniques for communicating effectively and productively as you embark on sensitive artistic relationships, now and in the future, as well as offer guidance and clues about finding colleagues who will work collaboratively.

The lab will be taught by attorney/mediator Eric S. Goldman, and will include role-playing demonstrations of common disputes, with feedback from a panel of professional commercial producers including Jennifer Manocherian (A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder, War Horse, Nice Work If You Can Get It, A Little Night Music, La Cage aux Folles).
