TILT Grow Seminar: Coping and Self-Management

With lectures and conversations, we want to address the demanding aspects of being a dance artist:

• What situations do I find mentally demanding in my work as an artist?
• What does a mentally demanding day look like and how do I tackle it?
• How do I lead myself in recovery and decline?
• How do I manage to work on my own?
• What drives me in my work as an artist?

The seminar is held by Agnes Bohne, psychologist and performing artist, and Donatella De Paoli, Ass. Prof. BI Norwegian Business School.
