In this workshop, led by Generator Toronto’s Director of Operations Bianca Guimarães de Manuel, participants will learn how to map out the producing trajectory for a performing arts project with intention, clarity, and rigor. We will cover different approaches to planning, how to build a critical path, budgets, and how to bring your values into a producing plan. Limited space, advance registration required. This workshop is presented as part of HFTco’s ALERT program.

Bianca is an interdisciplinary artist, balancing flow and structure (or chaos/order). The medium depends on the project and people she is working with. Often found collaborating/conceiving a piece through costumes, space, and playful
experiences. As an artist producer, she centers agency, wellness, transparency, and anti-oppression. What strategies can we use to cultivate a sense of grounding and mutual respect in our work environment? The "hard" skills she is good at include: making lists, planning ideas out, creating timelines, budgeting, writing contracts, bookkeeping, and financial literacy. And the "soft" skills she practices include approaching conflict with a trauma-informed intersectional lens, active listening, and learning in public. She translated a friend's labor, loves sleeping, and her first word was não (no).
