We will be meeting regularly on Wednesday afternoons, creating a hybrid (campus and online) virtual production studio to create and edit content, design, collaborate and share ideas. During online weeks, you are welcome to stay on the call of the virtual studio or drop-in and out.

Our next briefing session will take place in January 2024. This will be followed by a series of alternating weekly campus and online workshops.
