Self-Producing Workshop: Operating Budgets

The TEAM is an internationally-recognized Brooklyn-based theatre ensemble. Our mission is to collaboratively create new works about the experience of living in America today.The Guardiandescribed us as "theatrical excavators of American culture, American dreams and the American psyche." Combining aggressive athleticism with emotional performances and intellectual rigor, our work crashes characters from American history and mythology into modern stories, drawing unexpected connections across time to touch the raw nerves of the current moment.

The TEAM

Our self-producing series, led by the TEAM’s Producing Director Alexandra Lalonde and industry guests, continues this fall with two more workshops about the business side of making and sustaining your work. Each two-hour session is a peer-to-peer discussion over drinks--your registration fee includes beer and wine provided by the TEAM.

Tuesday, November 27th, 2018 7-9pm Registration: $30 ART/NY Studio G, Brooklyn
TEAM Producing Director Alexandra Lalonde and guest expert Jeremy Blocker will lead a 2-hour peer-to-peer conversation about building operating budgets for small companies. How does your operating budget reflect your mission and values? How do you represent the full scale and impact of your work in a spreadsheet? How do you present your operating budget for funders? With participants we will discuss these topics and more. We'll share experiences from the TEAM's own history, and solicit your questions in advance of the workshop to help guide our discussion.
