Program objectives
In the cultural sector, and particularly in the performing arts world, every artistic production is a project that must be managed while taking into account artistic criteria as well as technical, financial, and legal ones. That is the role of the Production Manager, who leads the artistic project from its conception to its realization and distribution.
This program aims to enable you to coordinate a project from A to Z and ensure its success, all the way through to its communications!
- Understand an artistic project and translate it into its various forms
- Know how to write documents that showcase the project and sell it to partners (production, financing, distribution)
- Support the production of one or more events (concert, show, festival, tour, etc.) while ensuring compliance with regulatory aspects (safety, HR, heritage law, and literary and artistic property law)
- Draft contracts and prepare forecast budgets
- Coordinate the various players in a cultural project to meet a production schedule, a budget, and the quality and originality of the artistic project
- Communicate about an artistic project to different audiences
The Internship Calendar
A 2 to 6 month full-time internship at the end of the program
Skills
- Prepare the communication materials needed to approach partners
- Prepare and monitor the budgets and cash flow plan of the artistic production
- Ensure the legal and administrative validity of the contracts and agreements related to the production
- Organize and coordinate all the activities related to the project

- The program must fit into a project thought through for and by the candidate
- The production manager position is closely tied to the artistic worlds. Consequently, candidates will be expected to have proven knowledge of, or sensitivity to, the performing arts (theater, music, dance, street arts), along with general knowledge or at least curiosity and openness to society.
