PODCAST—Secrets of Creative Collaboration with Trent Oliver

How do we keep cultural projects from going off the rails, without sacrificing creativity? It’s not impossible. In fact, there are some simple secrets to unlock the process. (Except now they won’t be secrets anymore.) Media design expert Trent Oliver joins host Jonathan Alger on Making the Museum, the podcast, to discuss the Secrets of Creative Collaboration. Trent brings her theatrical experience as an equity stage manager to her work creating visitor experiences. Turns out, theater has a lot to teach us.

WEBINAR — Like a circus, experience design can be thrilling and magical.

But it can also be, well, kind of a circus. How do you make sure there’s someone to catch the person leaping from the trapeze at just the right moment? Especially when the spotlight is on?

In this webinar, Trent Oliver of Blue Telescope shares process insights, collaboration tools, and best practices for working with all of the various members of an extended experience design team:

• when (and how!) to loop in each of your collaborators with confidence

• how to maintain a “single version of the truth” across distributed teams

• how to manage approvals, budgets, and all of the potentially dangerous backflips

• … and, most importantly, how not to lose sight of your dreams.

Moderated by Steven Rosen, President & Creative Director of Available Light. Q&A session follows the presentation.
