About Res 26: Artistic Gremlins

Founded by Liam Francis in 2019, this program aims to provide young artists with strategies to navigate the psychological aspects of a creative career.

Through improvisation, conversation, and reflection, the workshop helps participants manage self-doubt, perfectionism, and the pressures of professional dance, fostering resilience and a thriving mindset.

The goal is to unlock creative potential, address creative blocks, offer a supportive space for reflection, and build confidence in one's artistic voice.

Liam believes that exploring our "Artistic Gremlins" creates an opportunity to share vulnerabilities and build a more accepting and creative community.
