Our Services

    Spend an hour with the producers who have made the impossible into reality. Move people across a closed national border during the Covid-19 Pandemic? Led a team to sell a million tickets at Edinburgh Fringe? Make juggling cool? Hang 2.7 tonnes of ice off a crane and put a woman atop it for 10 hours? We’ve done it.

    Spend an hour with the producers who deliver the impossible, again and again.

    Come with your complex questions, get a second opinion or talk strategy - the choice is yours.

    How does it work?

    Our 1:1 sessions give you the time and space to ask anything you want.

    When you book in, we’ll send you some questions to fill out in advance so we can come to the session prepared and ready to make the best possible use of your time.

    This is custom advice, designed to empower you with the knowledge, understanding and strategy to make powerful decisions.

    The details:

    - 1 x 1 hour zoom call with you and a producer
    - the session is self-contained and does not come with a report, but you are welcome to record the session to listen back later

    We reserve the right to reschedule but will endeavour to give you as much notice as possible.

  • Coaching and Consulting

    You’re producing the work yourself but there’s a lot of unknowns and that is frankly, terrifying. You need a safety blanket, strategist and cheerleader in one neat package, so you’re going to team up with us and we’ll advise you every step of the way.

    We’ve worked with Disney Music on an Australian orchestral premiere, staged outdoor spectacles for 50,000 people, renovated a theatre in 48 hours and come out smiling. You got this and we got you. 

    We’ll help demystify the unknown and lower the risk so that you feel safe to dream bigger and reach further. We remove obstacles and prevent problems before they happen so your path is clear to make a stronger impact with your work.

    This is ideal for independent producers taking on new and higher stakes or arts organisations who are producing in-house or undertaking new business.


    What we’ll do:

    10 x 1:1 sessions over a period of 6 months

    Strategy outline and recommendations including detailed next steps

    The details:

    - 10 x 1 hour zoom calls with you and a producer
    - the sessions are self-contained and do not come with a report, but you are welcome to record the sessions to listen back later

    All sessions must be completed within 6 months of the date of the first session

    We reserve the right to reschedule but will endeavour to give you as much notice as possible.

Amanda Lee, Director of Sound of Circus

“My performance company would not be where it is today without pivotal guidance from Lauren during a critical point in my first year as a Director in the Arts and Entertainment sector. Upon premiering my first full length show, my company generated fast momentum which came along with big questions that I didn’t yet have the answers to. By connecting with Lauren, my company was empowered to continue blazing an exciting path with reputable knowledge and reliable, ongoing support.

Lauren upholds a unique combination of rich industry knowledge, deep compassion for artists and outstanding support of the performance industry as a whole. It is rare to find industry professionals with such a beautiful blend of empathy and knowledge, which are qualities I always experience at their utmost when connecting with Lauren..”

Stella Charls, Darebin Arts

“Wanted to write and thank you so much for your incredible presentation on Wednesday! I had such a great time and to learned so much from your presentation.

My colleagues and I were so energised for the rest of the week – so many tangible things we can take away and consider when we work with independent artists in our program and support the ongoing life of their projects beyond Darebin Arts Speakeasy.

Thanks so much Lauren.”
