“A research cohort to bridge the gap betwen what is ‘known’ about one’s personal values as a founder, and integrating into what is demonstrated, consistently, through our respective practices — in community with other founders, artists, and cultural entrepreneurs.”
Our Autumn Cohort clears away the dead leaves and gets a head start on more grounded new-year planning.
The Burntsienna Calibrations — a ten (10) week cohort applying a slow paced, ethnographic approach to re-investigate the origin stories, visual references and inherent values of ‘why we started’; then calibrating all optics, outputs and operations to be mission- and value-aligned with new clarity, vetting, and integration.
Each week will interrogate a specific segment of focus, unraveling slowly with each assignment expanding on the previous week. Sessions meet in person (and virtually) on Wednesday evenings 6:30p PST in Highland Park, Los Angeles; two (2) hours each session for ten (10) weeks.
Across ten sessions, cohort members will explore (and share) :
Session 1 - Introductions & Origins
Session 2 - Codes & Signatures
Session 3 - Audience & Community
Session 4 - Visual Language & Reference
Session 5 - Market Segment & Positioning
Session 6 - Ethics & Viability
Session 7 - Deliverables & Presentation
Session 8 - Org Chart & Operations
Session 9 - Copywriting & Conversational Prep
Session 10 - closing talks - ‘The Burntsienna Conversations’ : Autumn 2026 Cohort (public programme, Wednesday 18 November)
Our Summer Cohort culminates in a group panel discussion, ‘The Burntsienna Conversatons’ — a live collective dialogue on our respective practices with new verbiage and clairity, conversing with ease as the subject-matter experts in our unique value propositions. (public programme)
Post-cohort, the results of these research exercises can be organized and compiled into revised internal manuals for onboarding and org structures, SOP’s and internal training, comms and copywriting, grant writing and pitch decks for projects and funding.
This cohort is led by : Jason E.C. Wright, BRS.
