This “Artistic Management 101” course, consisting of a sixteen (16)-hour group activity followed by individual coaching, will cover the many aspects to consider when a dance artist decides to go “into business”.
Are you waiting for the answer to your first grant application and want to know what’s next? Are you wondering how to manage this money wisely, plan tasks, control deadlines, manage human resources and promote your project to make it a success? Do you have a few projects under your belt? Are you mid-career but still self-employed, and thinking of setting up your own NPO or joining a collective?
This training will provide you with the basic knowledge and tools you need to develop your management skills. You’ll become familiar with the different functions involved in managing an artistic dance project, from creation to dissemination.
You’ll also learn about the main organizational models, the NPO and the collective. You’ll learn what legal and administrative frameworks govern them, and how these structures can support your work. You’ll learn about the various steps, procedures and tasks involved in starting up and implementing an NPO or collective: identity, name and mission, information, documents and forms to be produced, obligations to be met, etc.
Individual support
At the end of the 360° reflection, as well as the learning and concrete exercises proposed in this training course, you’ll have new knowledge and concrete tools to successfully carry out the various stages and components of an artistic project: schedule, tasks, human and financial resources, promotion). You’ll also be able to plan and carry out the various administrative tasks required to start up, implement and manage an administrative structure adapted to the progress, deployment and development of your artistic projects, from creation to dissemination.
Objectives
Au terme d’une réflexion à 360°, des apprentissages et des exercices concrets proposés dans cette formation, vous posséderez de nouvelles connaissances et des outils concrets pour mener à bien les différentes étapes et composantes d’un projet artistique : échéancier, tâches, ressources humaines et financière, promotion). Vous serez également en mesure de planifier et de réaliser les différentes tâches administratives nécessaires au démarrage, à l’implantation et à la gestion d’une structure administrative adaptée au déroulement, au déploiement et au développement de vos projets artistiques, de la création à la diffusion.
