Hear from some of our Previous Participants

Kerry Holland - Dance Artist

“These types of tools were never taught during my arts education but are probably the most important things to learn to be able to develop a career.”

Toni-Ann Gurdon - Facilitator

Ru Lawrence - Movement Artist

Spyridoula Papandreou - Theatre Artist

Emma Lo - Actor

Mandy Gordon - Movement Director

Tatiana collet Apraxine - Augmented Reality Artist

“I left propel with a sense of empowerment, joy and connection. Living as a freelancer and creative can often come with a sense of disempowerment and it was beautiful to be in a space which gave me the tools to feel like I had so much more agency over my career, goals and life.”

Amy Rushent - Movement Director

“It felt like a heavy weight had been lifted, and feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt were replaced by trust and a feeling of believing in what I’m capable of.”

Sarah Tang - Creative Producer

“Propel is a life changing workshop that is relevant to any creative at different points of their journey. So many of us found community, encouragement and hope at the workshop and this would not have been possible without funding as such workshops are usually unaffordable for us to access. Babel is doing great work in the creative community and hopefully there will be more creatives who can access this workshop in the future.”
