Keynotes, Residences, & Workshops

Helping emerging artists build sustainable creative careers

Today’s university dance and theater programs are shaping remarkable artists. The next challenge is helping those artists sustain their creative lives after graduation.

Through residencies, workshops, and keynotes, Dominic partners with departments to bridge that gap — equipping students with the entrepreneurial tools, storytelling strategies, and performance practices they need to build sustainable, purpose-driven careers in the arts.

Approach

Dominic leads students in practical, high-energy sessions that mix creative exploration with real-world tools — from devising performances to fundraising pitches and building strategies for sustaining a career in the arts.

This isn’t “arts administration”. It’s entrepreneurship taught through the lens of creative expression, so students learn by making, performing, and storytelling, all while discovering strategies for sustaining their work while staying true to their career goals.
