WE ARE SCISSOR KICK
WE ARE SCISSOR KICK
WE PRODUCE live experiences, nationally and internationally, while providing general management services to independent artists.
Mission Statement
Scissor Kick champions artists that make observant, transformative and unsettling work.
We support artists to manage their projects, portfolios and relationships with networks and industry peers. We acknowledge that the work that artists conceive and produce does not exist in a vacuum; We firmly believe that our sector and its workers must engage in wider picture thinking if we are to ensure that our collective skillsets are to be utilised to the best of their ability.
Scissor Kick strives to take the weight off of the shoulders of our collaborators.
The creative industries often expects its workers to take on unpaid emotional, physical and administrative labour that isn’t relevant to their craft of process. We acknowledge that those who work in culture are often surrounded by bureaucratic systems. Scissor Kick supports its collaborators by helping them navigate and challenge these systems or, where appropriate, forge new paths to travel down.
Scissor Kick supports artists to succeed while ensuring they retain their independence.
