As students of Fringe University, one main thing that we have to accomplish while being here in Edinburgh is that we have to go to workshops run by Fringe Central. We have gone to many workshops, some including the topics of How to Market Your Show at the Fringe, Social Media, U.S. Touring and Booking and many others. The one workshop that I enjoyed the most and thought was the most helpful for kick starting our careers in the Entertainment Industry was a workshop on the Art of Networking.
I never really understood how important networking is until I got to college. You truly never know whom you will meet along the way and how someone can help you. In the workshop for the Art of Networking we were forced to actually meet and talk to people to help build our confidence in networking. The instructor was very outgoing and made this two-hour workshop into an interactive, enjoyable environment instead of giving us a lecture. I met three people by randomly walking around the room and they all have established careers in the Entertainment Industry. They all gave me great tips about how to get started and how networking is an extremely important part of any career.
This workshop was my favorite one that we went to because I thought it was the most beneficial to our careers. I met people from around the world who have been very successful in the Entertainment Industry and they have motivated me to get started! I have started my networking web at this workshop and I can only hope that it will grow into something much more.
