CREATE CATALYST

A 4 week online programme designed to help you create a step-change in your creative practice.

Get Your Practice Together & Transform Your Artistic Life In 4 Weeks!

The Create Catalyst Programme will help you unlock your inner potential, identify your creative ambitions, break down barriers, and ignite your artistic inspirations!

4 WEEKS. 8 MODULES. 1 BIG TRANSFORMATION.

  • Before we begin, we must understand where we are coming from. It’s time to take stock of the house, do an inventory of our work and get a full health check of our practice.

    Once we know where we are and where we’re coming from we can control where we are going. We’ll start laying the foundations to build the practice that allows you to do what you’ve been dreaming about.

  • This module is a deep dive into how you can master your creative mindset so that you can eradicate states of overwhelm, anxiety, imposter syndrome and burnout.

    You’ll learn specific thought processes and frameworks that leave you feeling empowered and creatively solving problems instead of being overloaded with them.

  • Our contention is that artists spend most of their time wrestling with the reality of being their own managers. We want to focus on dreams and ambitions and exciting big ideas, but before we can get out of the gate we are thinking about budgets, logistics, and practicalities.

    We’ll break down a clear process of identifying when we need to be blue skies dreamers where anything is possible, when to ask the practical ‘how’ questions, and when to critique our work effectively instead of spoiling our dreams before they’ve even begun.

  • Our personal wellbeing and energy levels are integral to creativity and must be protected at all costs!

    As artists and creators, we are often on the go, working long hours across multiple projects, this module helps us manage our mindset and our bodies to create an unstoppable energy and learn how to create confidence in ourselves and our work.

  • Discover 3 life changing creative processes that will give you a template to structure every creative project, idea, performance, act and take it right from conception through to delivery.

    This module will dramatically enhance and preserve your energy every day, physically and psychologically, so that you can feel confident, certain, and positive, no matter what comes your way. After this week you’ll have a clear roadmap on how to prepare, originate, manifest and reflect on any creative project and the mental and physical clarity to see it through.

  • When you lack purpose and drive, you allow yourself to drift aimlessly between things.

    Finding your Why

    Magnificent Obsession

  • The project that got away, that idea you’ve always wanted to work on, that play you started. How do you keep track of your ideas, decide what you want to work on and create a framework for pushing things forwards?

    In Week 3, you’ll discover how to create a powerful and purposeful artistic life that lights a fire in your belly and protects you from distraction, unnecessary stress, and meaningless problems.

  • In the final week, it’s time to solidify all the foundations that have been laid and make a Creative Shift.

    You will have developed your own creative day-to-day process and have a roadmap for creative practice.

    In this last module learn how to identify your ambitions, set clear and achievable goals, understand setbacks as a real learning tool, know your strengths and weaknesses, and develop a community of people to support you.
