Inclusive Casting Workshop - Factual
It will give casting teams the tools to formulate a successful strategy and find ways to engage effectively with harder-to-access communities.
We will consider diversity in its broadest sense - gender, sexuality, ethnicity, disability and social mobility.
The session includes:
- Accessing communities
- Finding the right language
- Navigating social media
This 2-hour workshop has been designed by Pact and Mel Walden, a freelance Casting Executive.
