In the Bite-Size Arts Ensemble, we believe in a simple process to help you unlock your entrepreneurial potential:
WE TEACH YOU.
YOU TEACH OTHERS.
EVERYBODY LEARNS.
But how exactly does it work? Let us explain:
#1 - We Teach You
The Bite-Size Arts Ensemble is an introduction to entrepreneurship for artists of all disciplines. Through our classroom curriculum, and the development of your own BIte-Size Arts Ensemble we will help you learn the fundamentals required to become an arts entrepreneur. We will teach you the rudimentary prerequisites to building a business, which begins with the way you communicate and how you respond to challenges that every entrepreneur faces. Even the strongest gymnast has to warm-up and practice new routines, and just like them, you need to become more agile before you can begin to learn how to build a creative business.
By joining us in a Bite-Size Arts Ensemble experience you will learn how to:
As you learn these basic tenants through our classroom and performance based experience, we will help you identify your unique personal perspectives, talents and experiences and get you to blend them together into a cohesive brand.
#2 - You Teach Others
After you develop your show and workshop and begin to gel as an ensemble, we'll help you take another steps towards becoming an arts entrepreneur as you go out into the community and share with others the very tools you just used to break through your own creative obstacles. This experience can come in many different shapes and flavors.
You may find yourself exploring new outlets for your artistry by going into K-12 after school programs and teaching creative workshops in your specific field that we will help you solidify your command of the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. You may take your newly assembled show and workshop package into a corporation to teach employees how to unlock their imaginations as you present your own business concept as an example.
The Bite-Size Arts Ensemble has built relationships with organizations and venues all over Chicago that can serve your professional development as you serve the community. And once you've formed your ensemble and start performing in the community, you'll have the chance to become part of our Extended Ensemble and be eligible for paying engagements and further professional opportunities long after the course is over.
IT'S OKAY IF YOU DON'T YET KNOW YOUR IMAGINATION IS WORTH.
WE TEACH YOU.
YOU TEACH OTHERS.
