This course is everything I wish I’d know when I started self-producing 5 years ago! I’m going to tell everyone about it so that the next generation of artists don’t have to struggle and guess.
Courses & Workshops
Courses and workshops CREATED by milke
We run industry-leading courses and workshops for independent artists and producers. Everything you need to get clarity on your next steps and up your game, all driven by our 20+ years of experience as a theatre producer.
Producer bootcamp
Producers are often expected to know everything and do it all. We know that’s not realistic (or possible), but we’ve got plenty of experience to share. This live, six-week online course is designed to transform the way you produce and set you up for success. Take advantage of our expert industry know-how, build your network and upskill in a practical, real-world way.
Artist Bootcamp
We get how hard it is to wear both producer and artist hats when you’re just one person. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and have no idea where to start. This four-week course takes you behind the scenes and walks you through a game plan for producing, marketing and pitching your show. Build your skills and connect with a whole lot of like-minded independent artists along the way.
A backstage pass to the world of producing.
So much of your producer education is on the job or, if you’re an independent artist, your jobs up until now might have been just booked and paid. The road ahead isn’t always crystal clear. It’s easy to feel lost and hard to know what to focus on and prioritise. That’s where we come in.
We build the foundations and connect you with a whole bunch of other like-minded industry friends, giving you knowledge, skills and confidence to tackle your next project and build your business.
Our courses and workshops are perfect for you if you’re:
- An independent artist self-producing your own shows
- An independent producer starting out in the industry or wanting to upskill and refine your processes, taking your career to the next level
You can use our courses to walk you step-by-step through a real-life project, plan your next production or follow along at your own pace with lifetime access.
why milke?
We are the go-to for learning producing skills in Australia.
Everything is based upon our Founder Laura Milke Garner’s 20+ years of producing experience. It’s applicable to real life, and we still work as a producer – check out some of our work – so we’re always in touch with the latest industry trends and developments.
You’ll get access to the same resources Laura has developed over her time in the industry – the same ones she uses to this day.
Working on your own can be lonely so all of our courses offer participants the chance to share and connect with Q&As and a dedicated Facebook group. This is incredibly valuable and often the unexpected favourite part of the bootcamps for many participants.
As one of our students, you’ll feel:
- supported and part of a wider industry
- confident in knowing where to start and how to offer value in your career
- guided by experience to make informed decisions
- like you have given your show everything you possibly could to help it get out there
Testimonials
We work with bloody good people, and they say such nice things about our courses and bootcamps.
Gavin Lind
Artist
I thought I was happily cruising along as an artist/producer until I did the Artist Bootcamp. I now have a systematic approach to apply both as an artist and as a producer and feel well equipped and resourced to take my craft to the next level and to heights well beyond that. Artist Bootcamp is a brilliant gift you absolutely must give yourself.
Gemma Winter
Producer
If you have any interest in producing – whether as an artist, independent producer or some other category altogether, this course will be invaluable to you! Laura shares her knowledge of the industry so generously. Her templates and example documents alone are worth the cost of the course, but you will get so much value from all the other content. I highly recommend the Producer Bootcamp to anyone and everyone involved in producing in any way!
