Being ready for what’s next can feel challenging. Life moves quickly, and sometimes it can feel as though we don’t have time to process the here and now before it’s time to move on. Working artists are in the perhaps unenviable position of needing to line up what comes next long before what is happening has concluded. This is part of the job, but it doesn’t have to be entirely overwhelming. A little bit of forethought and some planning each day can go a long way. Here are some opportunities to help you line up what comes next.
