How do you work best – and what happens when you build your artistic practice around that knowledge? This interactive session with Emma Wee, Candoco’s Co-Lead of Performance, Commissions & Advocacy and an experienced neurodiversity coach, will explore neurodiversity and the different ways our brains can influence how we work, create, organise, communicate and respond to the world around us.

Emma will share practical ideas for understanding your own ways of working, recognising your strengths and identifying the support, structures and strategies that can help you thrive.

The second part of the session will turn that understanding towards the future. Through guided coaching exercises, you’ll have space to reflect on where you are now, what you want more of in your artistic life, and what you would like to move towards in 2027.

You’ll leave with greater insight into how you work, some practical tools to support yourself, and a clearer sense of the goals and next steps that feel right for you.

In the session you will:

• Explore neurodiversity through a strengths-based and practical lens.
• Reflect on your own patterns, strengths and ways of working.
• Consider strategies that can support your creative practice and working life.
• Identify what matters to you as you look towards 2027.
• Use a coaching framework to turn your ideas into realistic goals and next steps.

You don’t need to have a neurodivergent diagnosis or identify in a particular way to take part. The session is an opportunity to understand yourself better, reflect on your practice and think about what you want to build next.
