HOW | Showing the Making

HOW | Showing the Making is a series of performance lectures and demonstrations presented by SO | The Academy for the Less Good Idea.

As its title suggests, HOW | Showing the Making reveals the approaches, strategies and methods employed by artists in the creation of their work. It provides audiences with the opportunity to witness how art is made, giving insight into the thinking, inspiration and techniques that shape it. HOW is a window into process that offers the possibility for a deepened understanding and nuanced appreciation of the work of musicians, choreographers, visual artists and theatre-makers.
