Join us for our next Creative Training Bitesized session which focuses on people management. Paula McFetridge, Artistic Director of Kabosh Theatre Company, will be demonstrating how she supports collaboration, openness and gets the most from diverse teams.

Each year Paula works with at least 100 freelancers in small teams from different demographics. They share a common challenge, working within processes that are highly pressurised and time limited. The success of their product requires everyone to bring the best version of themselves and collaborate effectively. Paula’s role is to support innovation, promote possibility and assist with time management by applying leadership skills tailored to bring out the best in individuals. In this session, she will share how she does this, offering practical, first-hand examples from her work, and transferable techniques that you can bring back to your workplace.

About The Speaker - Paula McFetridge has been Artistic Director of Kabosh since 2006.  Kabosh is based in Belfast, in the north of Ireland.  It is a theatre company committed to challenging the idea of what theatre is, who it is for and where it is staged.  The work is staged in theatres and in found spaces. She commissions, dramaturgs and directs the company’s programme of original socially engaged practice. The work has toured locally, nationally and internationally. Paula is a fellow of Salzburg Global Seminar Session 532 'Peacebuilding Through the Arts', was made Belfast Ambassador in recognition of utilising the arts to tackle difficult issues and won the Northern Ireland Tourism Board ‘Hero’ award for her work in cultural tourism.
