Webinar Overview
How can we live as artists while raising children? Led by choreographer Andrew Simonet, this 90-minute webinar looks at the challenges and rewards of parenting as artists. Based on a national survey and a series of in-depth interviews and workshops, we will share principles and tools that helpartist parents thrive. Open to artists with kids and artists thinking about raising kids, the webinar takes a realistic and positive look at the artist parent life. Led by Andrew Simonet, choreographer and father of two, who says: “This is the webinar I wish I had taken years ago.”
This event is in conjunction with The Let Down Reflex, on view from January 30 - March 12, 2016 at EFA Project Space.
