Do you have archival catalog content that you want to interpret, contextualize, give new meaning to and monetize? In this interactive four-part workshop, GRAMMY Award-nominated archival storytelling producer Jocelyn Arem uses a dynamic style to teach participants how to leverage the full value of their creative content by creating a strategy to reimagine it for new audiences. Develop a step-by-step project strategy to adapt, reimagine, and transform archival material into multimedia platforms that will turn “hidden” work into creative gold to support your portfolio and help empower your creative career. Participants will exchange ideas and connections, hear from guest speakers, workshop participant projects, learn about each other’s practices, and build long-term support.

You will come away from the workshop with:

A plan of action based on your project goals
A renewed sense of story and voice
Different ways to revitalize a story to add revenue streams to your career
Methods to engage in an intergenerational continuum within creative fields
A close community of informed peer artists
Artists of any medium are welcome, as we will be working with archival content from all creative backgrounds and across a variety of formats. In-between these sessions, participants will have access to an online forum where they can stay in touch, share information and resources, and build community outside of the class sessions.

 

“Right now we are vividly seeing the power of stories to connect us, even when we can’t be together in person. Stories shared across multimedia platforms bridge generations and give us hope and inspiration. Stories spur activism.” Read our interview with Jocelyn Arem

 

ADDITIONAL ONE-ON-ONE CONSULTATIONS

After the workshop series concludes, participants will be given the opportunity to sign up for an additional one-on-one consultation with Jocelyn Arem. Consultations are 45-minutes long and take place by phone or videoconference. The price is $120. Fifteen sessions will be made available.

 

RECORDINGS

This online workshop series will be recorded. The recordings will be shared with all previously registered participants after the workshop concludes, until September 1, 2022, regardless of whether participants attend the live workshop or not. They are not available for download.
