Motion Toolkit: cultural management workshop in RIGA

Published
As part of E-motional Bodies & Cities, Motion Toolkit workshop took place in Riga from the 18th to the 20th February hosted by the Association of the Professional Dance Choreographers of Latvia.
This was a special two-day management training workshop designed for Latvian dance professionals and emerging arts managers, who are seeking for further professional development and are interested in strengthening their practical knowledge and creative skills in project management. 

The workshop was led by two experts – Ghislaine Boddington (creative director body>data>space London) and Cosmin Manolescu (curator & director of United Experts/Gabriela Tudor Foundation, Bucharest), with an extensive experience in project management, international collaboration and co-production.

The participants to the Motion Toolkit had the opportunity to learn more about how to plan, organise and run their artistic/cultural projects through different approaches and methods. Topics such as: researching your concept, identification of project goals and objectives, establishing good partnerships, and drafting the budget. A special focus was given to European collaborative projects. The training workshop provided an excellent opportunity to learn more about simple management and production tools, to identify potential collaborators or simply learn how to creatively and successfully run your project.
