Gigging-4-Living works to support performing artists – musicians, dancers, and actors – to develop their business skills so that they can build successful and sustainable careers in the creative sector – making use of the multitude of digital platforms that can support their career in a post-pandemic economy. Gigging-4-Living is working to support performing artists – musicians, dancers, and actors – to develop their business skills so that they can build successful and sustainable careers in the creative sector – making use of the multitude of digital platforms that can support their career in a post-pandemic economy.

In order to achieve these goals, GIGGING-4-LIVING will develop a training curriculum that will have specific modules tailored to the needs of 3 these distinct groups -musicians; dancers, and actors. The 12 modules will be tailored to suit the needs and address the opportunities for each of these sub-sets of the performing arts sector that still pertain despite the impact of Covid-19.

GIGGING-4-Living will also provide a toolkit of resources that focuses on building resilience to promote positive mental health within the performing arts sector. These resources address issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, loneliness and self-confidence.

As the key training and education channel for aspiring performing artists adult educators will be supported with a comprehensive in-service training programme that looks at 3 distinct elements, namely; 

  • Building an understanding of opportunities for performing artists in today’s digital economy; 
  • Building the skills of adult educators to promote resilience within the performing arts sector; 
  • Building the digital skills of adult educators to work in remote learning environments and to develop interactive resources for online use.
