Director / Designer Speed Networking

This speed-networking event for designers and directors is an opportunity to meet more artists and potentially find new collaborators and partnerships for the future.

We haven’t done this over Zoom before but the idea is that you will have the opportunity to meet with a number of different artists over the session.

We will use the breakout rooms so that each pair will meet for five to ten minutes chat and each share information about their work, practice and interests.

When starting a director-designer partnership, one of the key things to consider is whether or not you have mutual tastes. Please bring an image which has influenced a production you have worked on or are planning to work on.

If you are interested in attending, please click the sign-up button above and fill in your details. Zoom details will be sent to you the day before.

Closed captions will be available for this session via Otter AI. Please let us know if you have any other access requirements using the space on the sign up form.

The session will be facilitated by designer Khadija Raza and director Joe Hancock.

Khadija Raza is a performance designer based in London. She studied BA Design for Stage at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. She was one of the winners of the Linbury Prize 2017 and won the Stage Debut Award for best designer, 2018.

RTYDS is currently curating the Young Vic Directors Programme. You don’t need to be a member of the Genesis Network to take part in this session, but you do need to be a professional director, designer or producer and not in full time education.

The Genesis Network is funded by the Genesis Foundation.
