Navigating Conflict in Artistic Collaboration

We’ve all seen it happen: a creative team is collaborating, the vibes are great, the work is solid, and then BAM!!! Something happens that explodes it all, and we can’t seem to find our way back together. Conflict is normal, but most of us aren’t actually taught how to be in conflict in generative and healthy ways. In this workshop participants will learn more about who they are in conflict and gain tools and frameworks for navigating conflict in ways that can strengthen trust and make the work even better.

Who is this workshop for?

Frequent Collaborators - Anyone who regularly works on a creative team, whether long-term or temporary.

Collective Leaders - People who support, or are invested in, the group dynamics of people making art together.

Arts Educators - Teachers who are helping students learn how to make art, and how to work together.

Rate Description

Obvious Agency offers tickets to our workshops at a variety of price points:

Solidarity Rate - We offer five heavily discounted Solidarity Rate tickets for all of our workshops. This is a way for Obvious Agency to bridge the gap between our goal to support working artists who are systemically under-resourced, and our need to support ourselves as working artists under capitalism. 

Discount Rate - Acknowledging the reality that many arts workers cannot afford our sustain or actual cost rate, we also offer a Discount Rate. This rate is available if you bring a friend or colleague with you, or if you purchase tickets to multiple workshops. This act of solidarity allows us to not undervalue our own work, and to help us achieve our goal of having a robust community in each workshop. We ask that you only pay this rate if you are unable to afford purchasing at our sustain rate or above for one or multiple workshops.

Sustain Rate - Paying our Sustain Rate helps us cover the bare minimum expenses that come with developing and offering workshops.

Actual Cost - Our Actual Cost is the real price for a workshop ticket, and allows us to continue to build a dignified workplace, providing salaries and benefits to our hard working artist staff.

Redistribution Rate - Paying the Redistribution Rate allows us to offer Solidarity Rate tickets. The cost of a redistribution rate ticket is one actual cost ticket plus the difference between a solidarity and actual cost ticket.

Discounts

Tickets at our discount rate ($75) are available for anyone purchasing tickets to more than one workshop, or any groups of 2 or more attending a single workshop. Email Daniel at Obvious-Agency dot com to receive a discount code that you can use at check-out.
