Overview
Have you ever talked about your creative practice while pretending to be a polar bear? The reality is, no one loves networking, but everyone should do it. Networking is an important career and life skill that we all should learn. Whilst we can’t guarantee you’re going to love attending networking events, we can guarantee that you’re going to have a lot of fun at this session practicing your skills and walk away feeling a lot more confident.
Using creative approaches, including movement, storytelling, and a bit of Guess Who, this session will show you the importance of communicating your work and personal story, while forming connections that help progress your career.
Join facilitators Kate Hunter and Arielle Murphy for an interactive workshop that puts a fun spin on talking about yourself to strangers.
For this even we are proud to be hosted by the brilliant people at Makerversity at Somerset House. Providing inspiring, creative workspaces alongside cutting-edge making & prototyping facilities. Our Networking event will enable an insight into their incredible work.
Any questions about ticketing or generally about this event please contact Sophie Risner (Arts Programmer, Arts SU) on s.risner@su.arts.ac.uk

Kate Taylor Hunter is a museum educator, actor and theatre maker with a passion for stories. For over a decade she has worked in museums and galleries in the UK and Australia. Kate is also an experienced science communicator and presenter. Her background in both the arts and science allows her to create programmes and experiences that are ‘STEAM’, but go beyond just using arts practices as a vehicle for science knowledge.
Kate creates work that educates and entertains. She is particularly passionate about the use of narrative and immersive learning experience to shift children and young people’s perceptions of themselves and the world around them. Kate works at the London Transport Museum, and when she is not there, is currently working on a play about loneliness and the Moon.
