MAGDA OLCHAWSKA
I work at the intersection of creative practice, storytelling, and inclusive education.
Through film, writing, workshops, and reflective tools, I explore how we create, sustain, and reconnect with our work. If you’re feeling burnt out by productivity culture, exclusionary systems, or creative pressure, this space offers another way.
I support creatives and educators in developing sustainable, meaningful creative practices.
This space may resonate if you are:
- an artist,
- educator,
- creative practitioner trying to build a sustainable creative practice.
Another Way of Working
→ Neurodiversity‑affirming
→ Slow and sustainable (environmental + financial)
→ Storytelling as method, not decoration
→ Built from lived practice, not templates
Background & Experience
I’ve run my creative practice since 2004 and work across film, writing, education, and participatory art.
I hold an MA in Public Art & Performance, a Fellowship in Higher Education (FHEA), and currently work in teaching enhancement and inclusive education in higher education.
START HERE
This space holds different parts of my creative practice and development alongside my educational practices.
You can begin wherever feels most relevant.
If you are a creative, an educator or an institution or an organisation, learn with me:
→ Substack essays – Ongoing thoughts on creative practice, sustainability, and education.
→ Workshops & talks – For an institution or organisation
→ Another Way Workshop – Gentle, self-paced approaches to reconnecting with your creative process.
→ Explore resources: Filmmaking & Writing; Creative Sustainability; Environmental Sustainability; Financial Sustainability
Work with me
If you’re feeling stuck, unclear, or at a transition point…
→ Creative Audit – If you’re trying to understand where your creative practice is going, or why it feels unclear, the audit offers a structured way to step back and reflect.
This is not about fixing or optimising. It’s about understanding, clarifying, and finding a way forward that feels sustainable.
STAY CONNECTED
If this way of working resonates, you’re welcome to stay. I share one thoughtful reflection at a time — no pressure, no hustle.
