The TLCC Innovator Series Talk is now live!
Last year, Latoyah Forsyth and I presented an Innovators Series talk at TLCC - the Tessitura Learning and Community Conference✨
I still can’t quite believe we did this and am so thankful for the opportunity to share the work we have been doing at Melbourne Recital Centre.
On reflection, I also can’t believe everyone/anyone let me on that stage in a black turtleneck… Steve Jobs I am not. I’m calling that one a key learning for next time!
In this presentation, we talk about getting experiential and how we have worked together to rebuild relationships to place post-pandemic for both visitors and team members.
As Visitor Experience Manager, I draw on my skills in Therapeutic Arts Practice often, using the skills I have developed as a practitioner to ideate, synthesise and reflect on the work I am engaged in.
In this presentation we present projects that I devised including DUET feat. You and Elisabeth Murdoch Hall, which took place as part of Open House Melbourne, our partnership with Queen Victoria Womens Centre, and the introduction of 18 artworks to the Centre thanks to a partnership with Artbank.
You can watch our talk now below or via the Tessitura website.
