DABB INDUSTRY
WORKSHOPS
Here, you'll find carefully curated workshops led by industry professionals we’ve chosen to collaborate with. These are individuals who have attended - or will be attending - the DABB Generals Day, and they are trusted partners who align with our values.
Each workshop is designed to provide a safe, supportive, and dynamic space where you can explore, grow, and refine your craft. These sessions aren’t about auditioning for a role - they’re about honing your skills, gaining insight, and developing as an artist in a space that prioritises creativity, care, and community.
