You win some – you lose some

In this our last English episode for spring 2021 we looked at successes and failures and specifically how failures are a resource that lead you towards maturity as an arts manager. Dan talks about how screw-ups never stop because we are always shooting for the stars but you get better at managing them – learning to fail better; Hannele talks about how the soft landing provided by your college and university can be so useful when you are a student so that you can take risks, experiment, fail and learn; and Dragos talks about the importance of the fear of failure as an ever present element that keeps you on your toes and performing to the right standard. He also mentions how important it is to exchange experiences with other professionals in cultural fields and that we are all in this together. Hosts are Michael Haagensen and Anna Ranczakowska. Guests: Dan Renwick – street performer, arts manager, owner manager at Heldeke theatre club and bar Hannele Känd – events manager at Estonian Youth Theatre Dragos Andrei Cantea – concert pianist, arts manager (based in Norway)
