The course is organised around five main modules, plus residentials (in-person retreats) that punctuate the year. Each module pushes you to test, iterate, and deepen your work.

  • Module 1: Practice & Process
    Explore your working habits, experiment across formats/genres, refine collaborative process, and define your creative approach.

  • Module 2: Action Research
    Embrace design thinking / inquiry into your practice: test, iterate, reflect, evolve.

  • Module 3: Engage
    Who is your audience? How do you reach them? You’ll work on storytelling, branding, testing, and technical craft for better connection.

  • Module 4: Community
    Build a creative community, learn to collaborate and lead with impact, and think about sustainable relationships around your work.

  • Module 5: Major Project (year-long)
    This is your flagship creative work (film, content, portfolio, product, etc.). You carry it through from conception to production to public/lived impact.
