Part of the Fringe Central Events Programme, for Fringe participants. Building and maintaining a sustainable career in the performing arts, in whatever sense, requires an abundance of skills including a serious amount of determination, bravery and resilience. Taking care of your emotional health is therefore incredibly important. This lively discussion will focus on bouncing back after rejection, dealing effectively with workload, project failures, working in isolation and managing those things that sustain your career in the long and short term.
