What happens when commissioners and creative freelancers sit down at the same table – not to negotiate, but to play a game?
What happens when commissioners and creative freelancers sit down at the same table – not to negotiate, but to play a game?
Join us for a fun, interactive session using our prototype Freelancer Obstacle Course – a bespoke co-designed tool to uncover the everyday tensions, blind spots, and assumptions that shape the relationship between local authorities and the freelancers they commission. Through playful competition and collaboration, we’ll navigate real scenarios: tight budgets, tighter deadlines, unclear briefs, and the high-stakes guesswork of ‘what does the brief mean’?
Expect laughter, a few uncomfortable truths, and loads of genuinely useful insights to apply in your own work.
No experience with board games required just curiosity and an open mind.
Book your place now and help shape a more understanding, more sustainable creative sector – one roll of the dice at a time.
Due to venue constraints, spaces are limited. This event has a limited number of funds for artist fees to cover time and offset childcare costs. Please click the relevant option when booking and the team will get back to you about the claims process. We respectfully ask that groups with paid members of staff do not opt in for the above fees.
