Dancing Fox

Artist

Job overview

  • I was a guest artist at a weekend retreat working with Dancing fox. a Playshop of sorts where logical thinkers mix with artists to find solutions to their branding, marketing and strategies.
  • Brian, Lucy and Jess were the lead facilitators.
  • I rendered at all of the meetings with fellow artisans.
  • We improvised,
  • Worked well with different skillsets


  • Toby said in a call yesterday that "This workshop was even more powerful than the Animals Asia one. Hope and Homes are very dry, and giving them the free range to be emotional and engaged and risk taking really opened up the organisation in a way that hasn't been done, and seeing the organisation reflected back from the outsiders in the room and that simple question of "why haven't I heard about this" ignited something that's still burning."


"This was an amazing experience for all of us, and it was just tremendously inspiring to get to know all the playshop participants and to hear the incredible stories of your work"
