Creative Power Workshop Series for Directors, Editors, Performers & Writers

Creative Power is a dynamic, interactive workshop designed to help Writers, Directors, Editors, and Performers, deepen their understanding of creative rights, unlock the benefits of the SIWA 2022 framework, and build collective bargaining power.

Through hands-on sessions, participants will explore the history of relevant legislation, gain insight into effective claim processes, and learn how to set realistic expectations for their work. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to advance their careers, protect their rights, and foster a supportive professional community.
