Shape your vision. Build your work.
THE
MANIFEST PROGRAM
14TH APRIL - 7TH JULY
Do you have a burning creative idea, but need making frameworks to realise it?
Would you benefit from a structure to support the creation of your project?
Would you be enriched by working within a supportive making community?
​The Manifest Program is a 3-month journey designed for artist-makers seeking to build and manifest a creative project across live-arts or film. The course moves from dreaming to shaping and finally to tangible manifestation through a combination of in-person workshops and/or a dynamic online format. Wherever you are, you can experience structured frameworks and making techniques that will empower you to bring your creative vision to life.
The Manifest Program is an opportunity to unleash your creative potential, connect with a community of like-minded creators, and manifest your artistic project.
"A compassionate and creative space in which to be seen, held, heard and inspired. An invitation to travel into the work that matters most."
Join hundreds of artists who have developed projects across theatre, dance, storytelling and film. Be part of a making community that nurtures a supportive and inspiring making environment where you can envision and realise your ideas. Artists who have worked with The Solo School and used it as a creative base, have gone on to present their work at prominent festivals, venues, and art spaces worldwide, building their work and empowering their creative world.
THE MANIFEST PROGRAM
The Manifest Program follows a 3-part design: Dreaming, Shaping, and Manifestation. Each month, you'll engage in a dynamic making framework, diving into initial concepts, mapping ideas, and participating in creative writing exercises and artistic assignments. There are regular group sessions and online making weekends to share and witness work and discuss your creative process, while also benefiting from insights provided by guest artists.
MONTH 1: DREAMING
14TH APRIL - 12TH MAY
The Dreaming process is a vital stage of the making journey. Curating a space to catch ideas and allow these dreams to germinate is the foundation from which all projects can flourish. This stage is about allowing your creative instinct to guide you, following threads of research, mapping the terrain of your project and cultivating your unique artistic voice.

The program gave me the courage and support to take my work to a place I always wanted, but was too afraid to do it. It gave the support and guidance to discover what’s inside me, and insight into what I want to say through my work.

INSPIRING VIDEOS
Receive educational videos bi-weekly, offering inspiring making frameworks that bring a step-by-step guide to developing your project. Each video offers creative invitations and tasks, allowing you to build your project from its dreaming phase through to manifestation.
MAKING WEEKENDS
Each month the group will come together early morning Saturday to set a creative task to be completed over just under 48 hours. Artists have the opportunity to be in an active and experimental process of making where ideas can blossom and be realised that supports artists to create within a structured form. The group reconvenes on Sunday afternoon to work.
COMMUNITY
Opportunity to meet and connect as a community remotely. It is so important that we feel supported and seen by our making community. Group conversations are woven into the fabric of the course as a culture of empowerment.
This 3-month course is a space for you to:
​
-
Be empowered to build your creative work, and manifest a project
-
​Unlock your creativity and bring your vision to life
-
Join a vibrant community of makers and be supported through conversation and collaboration
-
Share your unique vision with the world and watch your ideas flourish.
Empower your creative world.
The program offers a robust supportive structure for exploring your creative process.
I benefited hugely from the combination of working solo and being gently held by Henry, with regular one-to-one feedback and mentoring sessions; as well as excellent opportunities to share and witness work.
Knowing that this community of compassionate witnessing and support also had my back really helped me develop trust in the
process and confidence in my capacities as a maker.
I highly recommend this programme to anyone curious about how to create and keep on creating when the the mist
descends and the going gets bumpy!

The program has been a strong holding container for me to dive deep into my project, to open up the layers, to explore and to play.
The 1-2-1’s with Henry offered the personal seeing and support that was really supportive.
The videos and structure offered were pieces of Art in themselves and so deep and wide and full of helpful structure and inspiration.
And then being in a cook pot of Artist’s working on their own projects supported me to recognise myself as an Artist more fully and take my practice seriously, seeing the gift that I and we as Artists offer.
