Artists inevitably participate in a market full of wonderful people with a similar agenda. The workshop covered the topics of self-promotion and needed processes in the contemporary cultural field. Participants learned the basics of pitching – to define their artistic ideas, personalities and present them in context with existing and upcoming performances, shows and other artistic endeavours. After theory some of the artists were brave enough to pitch publicly themselves and their actual projects, using the possibility to receive feedback and practical upgrades from the lecturer and participants.<\/p>\n
