REFiNE directors workshops are designed to support performers of all levels with their projects-in-development. If you’d like expert input to help you advance and enhance your projects, advance your craft, navigate creative challenges, provide strategies to unblock and unlock potential in your creative process and projects, and help you become the best director/dramaturg/facilitator/choreographer/leader you can be, then REFiNE is definitely for you.

The content of every REFiNE workshop session is designed to cater for the specific, immediate creative development needs of those attending. All sessions will continually adapt to respond and serve each attending creative’s unique evolving needs and preferences.

TAOO workshops are uniquely flexible — you can choose when, where and how you’d like the workshop to take place (in-person or via video or audio-only call); whether you meet one-to-one (in a public venue like a coffee shop) or with a group of friends, colleagues, or other creatives you’ve yet to meet (by choosing between “private” and “open workshop”).

Each workshop appointment can be rescheduled with 48 hours notice — life is complex and we want you to get the best possible return from your investment.

This means you can attend a single workshop or many, as and when it suits your schedule and budget, and still benefit from strategies and support directly tailored to your unique creative goals — ensuring that you come away from every workshop equipped for your next creative challenges.

Creativity is a gift that keeps on giving, and takes a variety of forms — so why not support the unique creativity of those you care about by giving them the choice of nurturing their creativity in whatever form they choose — while also helping to create resources and opportunities for others to do the same? The more you give the more we can too :)
