Mentorship questionnaire — An Artist Residency in Motherhood

Hello!

Here is an optional questionnaire for you to fill out in advance of our mentorship period. Please answer any questions that are relevant to you. If possible, I'd love to receive your questionnaire three days before our first meeting so we can spend the first session discussing your answers and setting some goals for our work together. Your answers here are confidential and will only be read by me.

Thank-you,

Lenka

Email Address

Where do you live? (so I know which timezone you are in!)

Please describe your practice in a short paragraph

If applicable, please direct me to an online selection of your work you'd like to share before our meeting

Please separate web addresses by commas or if you have no online work available feel free to email me material

Anything you'd like to share about the work you selected?

Describe where you are at the moment with your practice

Describe how you structure your work. What are you doing? How do you feel about it? Are you sharing it? If you are, who with and how? (this might include online social networks, physical exhibitions, readings, screenings, informal and formal groups, etc)

Describe where you would like to be with your creative practice after the mentorship period (6 months)

What would you like to strengthen, let go of, pursue, experiment with, begin, change, or develop...?

At this point, what are the area(s) you'd like to work on during our mentorship period?

This can of course develop as we go along. Examples might include; improving professional organisation, developing and following an Artist Residency in Motherhood, creating accountability (please describe what for specifically), setting professional goals, developing a practice, seeking new audiences, preparing a portfolio, etc.

Describe as specifically as possible, anything about your current situation that makes your creative life difficult

This might be circumstantial, situational or personal (for example lack of time, support, community, confidence, space, focus, opportunity, money, etc.)

In a perfect world, where and how would you like to be working?

Where are you? What are you working on? Who is the next person who telephones? What does your schedule for the next year look like? (This can be as imaginary or realistic as you choose.)
