The NEW FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS ACCELERATOR project was recently launched, aiming to empower six female managers and self-managing artists over the next six months. The project's first monthly masterclass, spanning two days, delved into the intricate world of law, a topic that can be daunting for many music professionals. Fortunately, the participants had the opportunity to learn from two highly experienced and competent presenters.

They especially emphasize the emotional toll of exclusion, with a spotlight on those with mixed backgrounds. They will continue the conversation at Blaagaard Teater. A space that is more than walls and a roof, but a place that for us can also contain the emotions, the doubts, the vulnerable and all the questions.
