The Printemps de Bourges entrusted our culture and events careers students with conducting a satisfaction survey among the professionals present at the festival. An immersion in the heart of music and its new challenges.

8 students in the culture careers Master in Performing Arts Production program in action at the Printemps de Bourges: Hervé Dapremont, Sarah Nakhlé-Cerruti, Constance Gaffet, Sami Fatih, Antoine Weber, Quentin Girard, Lorène Chesnel, Camille Chastang.

The mission of the culture careers students?

Conduct a satisfaction survey that will allow the Printemps de Bourges to improve, in future editions, how professionals are welcomed, the conference content…

As part of this assignment, the culture careers students will:

  • meet the professionals (producers, heads of record companies and labels, tour managers, bookers, concert hall directors…) present at the festival and have them fill out a satisfaction questionnaire. The questionnaire was created by the Printemps de Bourges production agency in collaboration with Hervé Dapremont, student group leader.
  • enter the results into a database, produce charts from them, and analyze them to complete their satisfaction survey.

On all these assignments, they will be coached by Barthelemy Martinon and Marc Puig, lead professors at IESA arts&culture in cultural industries and in regional planning, heritage promotion, and audience studies respectively.

This assignment, which is part of an educational approach, gives students the chance to apply the skills developed in their “sociology of audiences” course unit, taught both in the Bachelor and in the Master’s in culture careers programs.

In addition, it will put them at the heart of the biggest contemporary music festival in France and thus at the heart of the music industry’s challenges (music dematerialization, copyright, etc.), let them meet music industry professionals to discover the careers and build a network, and, to combine business with pleasure, attend all the evening concerts for free!

IESA arts&culture would like to thank Aziliz Benech, coordinator of the Printemps de Bourges and MaMA, with whom we set up these two partnerships.
